Look at me - two posts in one week - schwing!

I don't know what's going on but ever since I wrote the last post, I've been excited to post again! And, I've even picked up some excitement to write TRCG - WOO-HOO! In fact, the night of my last post I went home and actually outlined the last 4 chaps and epilogue. That may not seem like a big ta-do to you but for someone that rarely uses outlines that is a big step. Especially huge since I'm actually going to follow it *G*.

I credit D'rkenrealm for that because in the past I never used outlines and if I started a story with one I almost always veered away from it, but since I've started writing D'rkenrealm outlines have suddenly become very important - the only way to keep my head straight with all the plots, subplots, and background. It's become a vital piece of my writing and that is a very good thing. Outlines keep all my chaotic thoughts and ideas in order and on the right path. I even get a sense of exhilaration when writing them, like I can't wait to start the actual writing of the story. And that my friends is the best part about them. Because you can't write a story you aren't feeling, which as I admitted before, has been my main problem with TRCG, lack of interest.

Creating the outline as renewed that, it's made me enthused about writing the story again and that is SOOOO important. I don't want to just write something for the sake of appeasing the masses and finishing the story - that would be a worthless shallow piece of crap. I want to finish the story they way it deserves to be written, being excited about it once again is a Godsend. But I have to move fast and go with it now before it does a disappearing act.

So, I have my last 4 chaps outlined I just have to write them, which shouldn't be too bad. I figure 10-12 pages per chap, 4 chaps + an epi, that's only 60 pages which is not much at all. If I really buckle down I can get 2 chaps done in one week, along with the first editing which I do myself. That would mean I could have the story wrapped up in 2-3 weeks, not accounting for final editing with my beta-babe of course.

While I've set a goal that is reasonable and completely doable it's sticking to it that's hard, however I will endeavor to do my best! No more fucking around damn it! I want this story finished - kaput - done! If it stretches out any longer I think I'll get really depressed, which is so not a good thing. But I will not let that happen!

Let the mantra begin!

I will write...I will finish this story...I will write...I will finish this story....
