Plotting

I had originally intended to write today's words and the rest of yesterday's words today. In fact, I worked diligently on the bus to and from work and during my lunch to make up yesterday's words (phew!). But I just wasn't feeling the scene I've got to work on next, so I decided to tackle the re-plotting.

After several technical difficulties, I managed to transfer my existing plot from LSB into Word and re-align the chapter headings to the plot points. When I write it like that, it sounds really quick and simple. Not so, when I actually did it. But at least it's done now, which means I can move forward with adding in my new elements and tweaking the existing ones I have to accommodate the new ones. Oh, and I should probably add some additional detail around my end scene, since it's currently this vague one-liner involving "kicking ass with uber powers". Myeah. That's not quite gonna do it.

In other news, my plot document is 7,312 words long! Is that normal? I'm thinking no. I mean, what's normal in this biz, right? But still...that seems super long. It's mostly brainstorming from the two weeks or so before I began writing, last July. There are some scenes of dialogue and some pretty in-depth descriptions of other scenes and even entire chapters. Oh, and then there are the jewels like "Simon and Hestia show up with armed guards. The meeting does not go well." (end chapter plotting) Or the one-liner I mentioned above. Oy.

I'm exhausted, for some reason, so I'm toppling into bed early. Tomorrow I'll either continue with the re-plotting or work on the aforementioned scenes if I'm in the proper frame of mind.

Sweet dreams everyone!
