Outlining
So far, I've managed to write down an outline for the first six chapters. I haven't gone further than that, I haven't forced myself to jot it down, and it doesn't consist in a dozen of pages either, but I think this will be enough to get me started and pumped up during the first week. I don't want to feel trapped by this when I'm diving deep into writing the novel in itself; on the other hand, I know myself, and going without any plan at all.
For the moment, this remains close enough to what I had pondered during the first two weeks of October. We still get Tesla, Heiji and Deanna as "main characters", although Miki is starting to want a go at it too (first Kittin from my "Voyagers" trilogy, now the scientist... what did my characters smoke this month, really!). Also, I still haven't decided on the ending. I want to keep this free, and see where it takes me.
Good thing that Nov. 1st is a holiday here, I'll be able to jump on my word processor first thing in the morning without having to worry about office work!
