What To Do...What To Do...???

[engarian]

Today is my studio day and I have my usual long list of things that I want to try and get done. I need to do the budget that I mentioned yesterday - no way around it this time, it has to get done. I will talk with my friend in California late this afternoon, something that I look forward to every week. I would like to phone my friend's widow

You are so incredibly busy - when do you get the chance to sleep?

I sleep between 5 and 5-1/2 hours a night, so not a lot. I figure I'll have ample time to sleep when I'm less physically able and when I'm dead. Right now, I want to live as much life as I can.

Oh, you'll make it, I'm sure. The outline for the plot, I mean. I say it for two reasons. First, remember how you called yourself a drabble-queen, and you weren't... ok, perhaps I shouldn't say you weren't fond of longer stories, perhaps it's too much to put it that way, but you definitely prefered writing drabbles. And today? You wrote/write many longer stories, several thousand words long. ;) And those are good stories. So I'm sure you'll do just fine with even longer one.
Second, the plot usually develop while you write (it's aliveeeeeeeeee!!!), so your story will grow in the way you don't even know yet! :)

Yes, stories grow like mold in a warm place - LOL. I think it will work, but I have to make sure that my story premise will actually hold up in a work of that length, not just be more applicable to a short story or a small novella. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to dive into something with a word goal and fall short because the subject can't support the in-depth examination. I must admit, I am becoming more accustomed to longer works - :-)
