Finished Chapter Summaries
What I Did Today
I just finished writing all the chapter summaries for my novel. The full, scene by scene summary of the story so far is 15 pages long. It needs one more good edit, at which point I imagine it'll be 20 pages long.
Right now, there's 95 chapters divided into 7 segments. I imagine the longer chapters will be around 8 pages and the shorter chapters will be around 2 or 3. Rough estimate... that'll come to around 475 pages total. I have a lot of cutting down to do.
Currently I'm calling the story Woke Up Drunk, but I'm also toying with All the Pretty Lies.
I started working on this story just as a fun side project to another story in October of last year. At that time, I was no where close to considering making it into a novel. It was just fun. It was called A Million Skies are Blue then.
I've been working on it more seriously for the last two months... mostly trying to get every single scene in the novel worked out - plotted, paced and worded appropriately.
Changes
Cody and Gabriel have had a younger sister, Michelle, up until this point, but I've decided to drop her from the story as I can already tell it's going to be too long and she doesn't really serve a purpose except to make Cody a middle child.
IRL
I just got my windshield replaced so that I can hopefully pass Utah's safety and emissions tests. And what not.
Got my package from ThinkGeek. This one had a Blue Sun shirt (from Serenity), a brain cell plushie, an acrobot and a Global Get Away Cube World... cube. Today I ordered more tetra tops, another acrobot and a white blood cell plushie.
I also just started my Undead Rogue on WoW.
