[Writing] Aaaaaaaand....DONE.
Dec. 11th, 2008 07:34 pmThe first draft of the outline of Can't Find My Way Home is DONE, as of about five minutes ago. I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing that the outline itself is just a smidge over 20k, but given that I got pretty detailed with most of the scenes, that's not a bad thing.
Looking back at my little black book that has my writing numbers in it, it looks like the idea came to me sometime at the beginning of this year (I know I have an LJ post somewhere giving the actual day), I started seriously working on it in May, dropped it for a bit while I finished off the Love Like Blood rewrite, and then picked it up again mid-October, and worked on it as the main project from there on in.
Yeah, took a bit longer than I would have liked, but at the same time, this outline has definitely cut down on writing time--I'd still be about a third of the way through if I'd written it cold. My plan is to push through this one as Main Project #2 next year (#1 will be creating LLB2, which I hope to do in half the time as this one).
So yeah--go me! WOOHOO! :)
