The main character, Rat Face, is a noir-ish hitman and delinquent looking to solve his father figure's murder before the Terror Squads find &amp;amp; liquidate him. In this series of 10 short episodes, Justin Bendell discusses his weekly process as he writes 50,000 words in three months, including &amp;nbsp;the day-to-day ups and downs, the challenges and dead-ends, &amp;nbsp;and the surprises along the way as his novel draft evolves.&amp;nbsp; In Episode 2 of Writing Rat Face, the writing is smooth sailing, but how long will the good winds last? Justin explains his thoughts on the city as character, rants briefly about art &amp;amp; labor, and shares two excerpts from week one of story writing.
