Outlining in process

marfiskI have completed 25 scenes now, including the beginning, end and the rest in the beginning of the book toward the middle. This book has three main phases: 1) Before slavery, 2) Good master and 3) bad master.
To give an example of how I write scene notes and show just how miserable this book will be:
On the seventh day, she rises early and washes herself in the trough given the slaves for cleaning. She chooses her best smock and skirt and combs her hair before braiding it so it hangs down her back. When the minder appears, she asks for directions to the temple to pray. The minder laughs and tells her she's a slave. Slaves don't go to temple. Wardah is stunned, suddenly feeling the truth of what she's done and who she is now. Something inside her curls up and cries, wondering what Diggory will think of her now. The minder only barks out his orders and pushes her out of the slave chamber, not allowing her to bind her hair or change out of her nicer clothes.
And the sad part? This is the good master :p.
