Writing: To whom it may concern. . .
. . . and to those I've been neglecting, I've been writing this week and it's going swimmingly! At times, it almost feels like it's out of my hands. My characters are kind of saying, "uhm, about what you had in mind, yeah, that's not going to work for us" and doing their own thing. It's Weird.

Here's hoping. If I don't manage to, I'm going to go live in a cave somewhere, I think. ;)
Exactly my point. So I'm not going to kid myself by even jokingly calling it "My Great Novel". Better to undercut expectations and let people be surprised if it turns out worth reading.
Yeah, knowing how much the outline has changed as it is and how easy it is to renumber chapters and move things around, it's definitely flexible. You worried me, for a minute because I was thinking, "what, I'm supposed to write this from beginning to end at this point? There's no way, I give up." ;) I've got 21 chapters in my outline now and if I had to guess, I could see it growing by another ten or so. I think once I get the outline done, I'm going to put it away for a little while and process it all. Then I can come back fresh and start the draft.
