So as I move into my second week of extracting an outline, I am now actually pulling out the outline. Making a file for each section that has the main points of what happens in that section, along with notes of things that I want to happen that I might not have actually written yet.
I just hit a section where I know there are certain things that I want to happen while the characters are in a certain place but I have no idea in what order. The scenes I wrote are not in a particular order. So I just put that I have those points to hit. (It didn’t really occur to me until now that I sucks that I can’t really say much more specific than this because of spoilers. Sad.)
I am about 3/4 the way through the story on writing this. It’s making me realize that I have a lot of planning and writing that I still have to do, which is kind of discouraging. I feel like my writing is so much more complete on older stories. I just have to remember that I have had years of work on those stories and this story is only a few months old. It’s going to need some work, so work it will get.
