Last night I converted 15 pages of brainstorming to 4 1/3 pages of outline/proposal. Then, since my vision was having a good moment, I skimmed Maass’ Breakout Novel Workbook. It quickly became obvious I have a lot more work to do–but that doesn’t surprise anyone, does it? The story has an initial soundtrack of 64 songs. I need to do a lot of characterization and a bit more work on the outline–which I’m certain will change as the characters and I become more familiar with each other.
