It keeps changing with whatever story in which I absorb myself. I watch a movie in which the family is short on money and end up contemplating what the novel would look like if the MC's family was short on money. I think back to a scene in one of my required summer reading books and end up contemplating how a scene in which my MC needed a ride home from her not-yet-boyfriend would play out. In some ways it's nice to daydream like that, but in others it kind of scares me how very unstructured it is.Miri Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-79805125793536527952014-07-21T16:43:17.258-05:002014-07-21T16:43:17.258-05:00*sigh* I very much like the idea of outlining, hen...*sigh* I very much like the idea of outlining, hence my pristinely developed chapter by chapter, blow by blow of one of an upper chapter book/ lower middle grade I'm playing with for Camp NaNoWriMo. Then I changed things, and I'm perpetually tempted to change the outline, too, because it annoys me that the outline and the actual story are different.
