I'm ready
to start a new novel. It's going to be
about three generations of Black giants.
I want the
story to skip in time-a big no-no for a beginning writer. I want the story to be mostly about family
dynamics and less about plot---a giant no-no.
Okay maybe I'll come up with an interesting plot so that I can move the
story forward. I'm not good enough to write
a story that doesn't have an obvious plot… but dude, I can dream.
I'm going
to put myself out there and say I'm an expert at plot thanks to COAL. I can move a story along with the big
dogs. Yeah I said it. So while I'm outlining GIANTS, I'm not just
going to outline plot like I did with COAL.
I'm going to have the setting and description details in the outline
also. That way I don't have to go back
and do it on the second draft. Editing
sucks and I want to eventually get to the point where my first drafts are
pretty clean.
I can't
wait for NaNoWriMo so that I can get all this started. :squee::
but first I gotta get COAL done, so back to work.
