kittkestraAlas, a week mostly (so far) of good intentions that I fail to follow through on.
I'm ready to start the snowflake outline for Gold and Silver, and I've been excited to get to that point! And yet, the progress is not progressing.
The plan remains:
Gold and Silver - write down as many of the initial ideas/intentions/tone as I can
Fanfic Project 1 - write down my current ideas/intentions/tone
Rescue - write down my current ideas/intentions/tone
Fanfic Project 2 - write down my current ideas/intentions/tone
Gold and Silver - do an official outline of the project [I AM HERE]
Fanfic Project 1 - do an official outline of the project
Rescue - do an official outline of the project
Gold and Silver - first draft time!
Fanfic Project 1 - first draft (of part one) time!
I also realized I'm not really sure yet how to budget how long the outline for each of these projects is likely to take. That's part of what I'm doing right now, figuring all of that out, but it does mean that for now I'm in a bit of an unsteady spot where I don't know what a reasonable goal would be. (Is it reasonable to think that, were I actually applying myself lol, I could get an outline done in a week? Two weeks? A month? Is it useless to try and predict it because different projects will be different?)
If I could have my wish, I'd say what I really want is to get through the three above outlines (Gold and Silver, fanfic project, and Rescue) completed by the end of the year. I'd love to be able to truly focus on actually writing (at least some of the time!) in 2026.
I'm not planning on preventing myself from writing before the new year or anything, but 2025 has felt like kind of a fallow year, so having things set up to make next year easier is something I'd like to do.
