marfiskThe outline, she is complete!
Which, by the way, means absolutely nothing since scenes will migrate, appear, disappear and otherwise change radically. The only thing it really means is that whenever I write on Bring Out Your Dead, I'll have something to follow, something to put me in place.
I have not, however, put in the Time and Place, two new columns on my spreadsheet. I've started, but not all entries are updated. Since this occurs over years, the time is only the season so I know what the weather is like and can comment on crops. The places however do change, starting in her home village, moving to her first home as a slave, then to the tavern where her life worsens and finally to the capitol where she enacts revenge and finds her life can begin again.
Oh, and the stats? 67 scenes (of which 12 are written making up 18%) with an initial estimate of 84063 words based on the average word count by scene over the first 12 scenes which came to 1254.67. That means some are quite short considering one is over 2k by itself. Still a tidy length with room to grow during the first draft and edits. I'm rarely in so tidy a place when I start.
