Today was all about getting a little bit done at a time on the book.
Planned to outline this AM but the lack of motivation got in the way as did a lunch invite from my brother & sister-in-law. Didn’t sit down until about 8pm, intended to outline half of the chapter but managed to get about 1/3 done, which resulted in an 8 page outline.
I’m liking this extended/deep outlining process as it gets all the stuff out and when I write I don’t have any excuse to stop–all my “stuff” is there waiting on me. I started the book this way but meandered down the path of bullet outlines, which slowed down the writing as I had to backtrack and fill in details.
Hey, I’m not complaining. I can probably get a good 20 pages out of those 8 tomorrow (ok, so that’s a lie…maybe just 15ish) and resume outlining tomorrow night. Could be a pattern…

Hi –
Tried to comment but the comment engine apparently lost it — or maybe it’ll show up later. Anyway, this is a great site, and I’m going to send some other writers to it.
Thanks for linking to my blog.
