A productive weekend
Today I added 1148 more words onto the outline of Perfection. I worked on the first two chapters in Part 2 of the novel. I like using QuickPlot more than I expected I would and since this is the first time I've done a complete outline before starting a novel I have a few comments about that as well. It seems like a great idea, so far. I've been able to work on conflicts to keep interest high during the various parts of the novel. When I find myself needing to include a scene at the beginning its easy to add it in before writing the first draft. When I see a section lagging I can spice it up. And I expect when I start writing it will be a breeze rather than a constant worry about where the novel is going. I already know all about where it will go.I did the marathon at Forward Motion this weekend but only got to 5K... then decided not to push for 10K though theoretically I had time. My son got up in a bad mood - it must be something about puberty because he's acting like a very temperamental teenager. I think this is not the time to spend the whole evening writing.
