I've been working on a story. That, alone, is not frightening. I got some excellent feedback on the direction, and thought, "Why don't I just plot out the first three chapters..." Okay, I've done that before. Before I realized it, I had been converted from pantzer to plotter. I plotted out the entire book. Not in rigid detail, but believe me, it's an outline.
If I would have stopped there, I wouldn't even mention the episode. But last night, as I was finishing off chapter four, I wondered, "Can I finish this by the end of the year?" Enter my crit buddy, Kristi, who pointed me at the 70 Days of Sweat challenge. I could never commit to NANO, because November is a terrible month for me to try something like that. But this, I can do. Its goals are my goals, and now I have all the support I need!
