  • Chapter 7 completed

    Earlier this afternoon I finished the outline for Chapter 7. Yes I’m calling them outlines now because the fact of the matter is that there is so much information being crammed into single sentences and paragraphs, that it is going to take a rough draft to expand on them. Right now I am all about getting the ideas down on paper. Last week was spent reviewing the Prologue and first six chapters. There were grammatical errors everywhere. But that’s okay because right now I’m just trying to get from the Prologue to the Epilogue. In between the two I figure there are going to be about 40 chapters. At 3,000+ words apiece I figure the outline alone will be around 130,000 words.

    I will be honest, had I known that the freakin outline would have been the size of a book, I may not have understaken this project. But I will be equally honest in saying that now that I am nine months into it and have seen that I can work at a steady pace and have the support of my family(most of them), it’s…well….kinda fun. Don’t get me wrong, it’s hard work and will take me about 2 1/2 years overall to get the outline done. But I look forward to that challenge ahead.

    And since I’m not going to be sharing the chapter, here is a little bonus for you for making it through this post.
