I’m working in the middle of chapter 8, deviating in a few spots from my working outline. The goal is to get 20 hours of writing in this week and add 10k more words. Let’s see, what kind of preview can I give? Here we go: drones, desert, and the villain on his three-speeder bicycle.
Mysteries, reversals, zing, stunts I’ve never seen in any thrillers, a bit of romance, and lots and lots of action. All set in the amazing landscape of Southern Utah’s Grand Staircase.
The backstory summary is 6 pages. The outline of events is 10, single spaced.
I’m feeling it, folks. This sketch of the story has got the goods.
One more pass to tighten up plants and make sure I’m hitting the progression points for the A and B stories, and it’s time to write. Just in time for the big Christmas break.
Speaking of that, merry Christmas to all my blog readers!
On Saturday, with the arrival of a little gang of delicious insights, I finished the first working outline of Awful Intent. I can’t wait to dig into the writing. There will be one more draft of the working outline, and then I begin to write. I expect to be into the prologue by Wednesday.
