The outline is 75% written … the character descriptions are mostly down … and I’ve written the first two pages. Mind you, I’ve had the first two pages written, in my head, for a loooong time. But it feels good to have it down.
The really nice thing is having the outline. This makes it glaringly obvious where the plot holes are (hoo boy, are there plot holes), where the “dead spots” are, and where I need to do more research. In this case, though, since it’s not historical fiction and it’s not treading any new technical areas, it’s more human / relationship research. Which I’ll be reaching out for over the next few weeks.
Stay tuned…
