Planning the Outline
Ok so I’ve decided I need an outline but first of all I’ve discovered that I need to plan the outline – decided whats going to be there as the actual structure of the book and then how many chapters etc… I’m planning on – before I can even begin the outline :/
I have decided that 150, 000 words is the sort of length I am aiming for – but as I believe that stories decide their own length this may change! Now obviously this is 3 times the NaNoWriMo amount so I am looking at continuing the writing after November has finished! I know some people just up their daily word count but as this is my first nano I thought it best to pace myself!
Also obviously this is one novel which is going to be part of a bigger story so this leads to an interesting thing with the outline – am I doing an outline for the series or for novel? Do I need to do both?
The more I plan for this novel the more I find I need to think about and plan – arg!!! I just hope this is all worth it!
