Re-Visiting old haunts..

Been trying to get my life in order for the thirtieth time it seems. As such, I'm going around all my old pages and am downloading all journals, writing, graphics, and all that whatnot, onto a private server so I can find it a little bit easier.

That said, I'm going through my files that I've recently recovered and am planning on trying to outline all the novel-ish stories to shelve. Sound crazy? Perhaps it is..

My plans are to have every story planned and ready to go, so I can just spend time writing the story the outline contains. I'm also trying to re-work some characters and create new ones so I can actually figure out what the "big bad" of my series wants. Perhaps it's time to have a chat with a minion? lol

Camp NaNo is coming up in June and again in August. I'm not participating in ScriptFrenzy, even though I want to. Got a promotion and getting the story ironed out is killer!

Hmm.. That reminds me: I need to work on my drawing skills, and find my style for the codename.Nightmare 'verse?

I'm also trying to not look at the dare and adoption threads, so that my ideas are 100% my own. Way too crazy to do so, but I want it to be as close to original as I can get.

Hmm.. Also need to find a small journal to carry around for rabid plot bunnies. Too many things to think on!!

So, the plan for NaNo is thus:
  • Outline The Nightingale
  • Outline  Flames at Twilight
  • Outline The Locket
Perhaps this won't be as bad as I thought, right?

ALSO, to do (outline) before 'roo:
  • The White Gate
  • Fifteen Steps
And:
  • Character Bio's
  • Character Sketches
  • Maps?
  • Place Sketches
  • Timeline for big 'verse
Too much to do! lol
