A little organization

Today, I spent time organizing what I have accomplished to date. I have discovered that my anticipated word count of 75k is low. It may range more around 95k, but we shall see.

The outline is eight pages. I have updated and reprinted it.

10k is already drafted. I had drafted it several months ago and was required to set it aside so I could meet other deadlines. I re-read those 10k this morning and those pages are now printed so I can edit.

I've printed out my character outline forms which go to background, motivations and actions, personality traits, tastes and preferences, and inward/outward appearance. I have also printed out the overall story sketch details. You might think the outline handles this, but there are different scene and character details in this story form.

I usually find I print out what I think I need in forms, but rarely do I use all of them. They serve as reminders in many cases.

Of interest: Before building a new web, the spider eats its old web.

Many intriguing research items to discover. I must remember to print out all my notes.

“Fuck her, you could lose your dick, depending on her mood.”

Ask my friend Caitlyn where this line evolved from. :-)

I don't know that it will be used in this particular story, but it certainly goes to Marie's deadly nature. As far as I know Marie has not maimed any of her men in this fashion. Not that she's saying at this point, anyway.
