Outlining

I never outline. Well, almost never. I also never finish anything.

Related? Quite possibly.

The last time I outlined anything was a little over two years ago in preparation for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) 2007. I only outlined about one-third of the story. Guess how much I have written to date?

That's right. The one-third I outlined.

Okay, to be honest, I should have said "The last time I outlined anything before last night..."

All I have so far is a rough outline, but I have almost all of my current project outlined. I just have to decide how to end it. I don't have all the fine points down, but I do know the general direction of the story. The big climactic scene is outlined. One entire subplot is outlined.

Just not the ending. Hopefully when I get close, the story will flow to a natural conclusion.

Long Time, No Post

Finally getting back into the whole internet thing. Real life slowed down enough to let me.

I now have my FaceBook and Twitter accounts set up. I'm not terribly active on either just yet, but I'm working on that. Any and all friends/followers are welcome.

I've got several stories in the works right now. Hopefully, I'll be able to share a bit of one of them soon.

I've got to go, so I'll keep this post short and sweet. I promise not to go four years (!) between posts again.
