I'm a little worried about this novel project as that's going to be even MORE consuming than just reading. I've always made up stories in my head in order to amuse myself, and would sometimes find myself whispering conversations out loud. Hmm...how to freak out your co-workers?
See, I'm taking a much more casual approach to this. I have my outline and my main characters and that's all I'm gonna work with. I'm thinking things through, but I'm going to let them happen.
Remember, this is quantity, not quality writing. We can edit later. I plan to just to stream of consciousness writing and just sit down and start telling a story....like I often do on FR (when I say too much!).
