And now for a final basting....

It's 1:53 am. I've been working on my plot just about all day (slept in and spent the earlier afternoon house hunting. Still no luck there.)

Anywho, I've more or less got a plot hammered out. On paper it looks like it might be short. I did it in point form with each point hearder being a chapter, then I wrote a brief description of the three scenes that planned for each chapter--with the assumption that the 3 scenes added up to 20 pages.

Well, I only got up to page 280. :-/ But I didn't really address the internal conflict stuff, or much of the character arcs, or flesh out some of the subplots. Just kept the focus on the unfolding of the plot. Plus dialogue will take up quite a bit of page count. I'll do that tomorrow. I think 280 pages in outline, might well balloon to 380 in execution, especially if little twists and turns appear as I'm writing.

I'm still going to transfer the points to the colored post-its, tomorrow, then plug those on to the board. Visually I'll be able to see more clearly what threads need to be address.
