The project's going well. Seriously cannot say enough about outlining to focus the story down to a fine edge. Listing the events -- in order -- helps to move the plot along without too many hangups. Though, I do leave a bit of room for variants. Without character progression, what do we really have?
Cardboard.
Anyway, should have the piece drafted by tomorrow. And revised by Saturday night. Target is to submit by Monday.
Not entirely sure why I like Mondays . . . maybe because they're my Wednesdays. Gives me two days to 'play' before the weekend (get a new idea up and running, maybe even halfway drafted and the backstory down).
Also, in the new end of things, jotting down plans for a new website.
I set a goal that this blog would be a stepping stone as I gathered more publishers. Just a few more and I'll consider things read for step two: a complete site. Am not really into Twitter, so finding it rather useless. Which is reason enough to jump towards a full site.
All in all, this is my big rebuilding. Time off to do what I was supposed to do -- get a job (writing didn't count then), buy a house, and so on -- cut down on putting things out there. In all honesty, what little records I did keep from back then . . . I'm not even sure they still exist.
So, hence the work being put into this blog, the pieces I now try to get out and holding myself accountable more than before. If anything, this keeps things (goals, dreams, pursuits) in perspective. And all of this is worth it.
Every second.
