Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 60

I appreciate you guys letting me detour for a few days to 1997 🙂 I jumped into a marathon without a lot of pre-planning, and like I said, this story has a lot pieces and I felt like I wasn’t making progress or that I was spinning my wheels. I like to do a really detailed breakdown with dialogue notes because then I can write faster.  For example, here’s a breakdown of a much earlier scene (you can click to make it bigger). I do a lot of my outlining this way because I can make notes about the dialogue I can see/hear in my head without really having to put it into prose. That way when I’m actually writing in a timed session, I’m thinking about how to write the scene, not what to write. I can go faster and cover more ground.

So taking two days off let me take a minute, take a deep breath and outline without the pressure of having to write the scene in an hour. I was able to sketch out three full updates (or what I think should be three updates) which takes me into today and Friday — and then I’ll sketch out next week over the weekend when we switch to Foolish Games.

Anyway, thanks again. It helps to have your support. See you tomorrow (hopefully around the same time)
