Strange Flesh 2013 edition

[dreamer_easy]

Spent the am typing up the new outline of Strange Flesh. It took two extensive sessions at the cafe de namjas to break the whole thing down mechanically - much as I would have done with a New Adventure - into four sections and twenty chapters, with the major events of each jotted down in point form. This bird's-eye view is helpful in identifying problem areas, such as events occurring for no apparent reason, and dulness*. Once the scaffolding is secure, I'll be able to figure out where to slot in all the bits of dialogue, local colour, exposition, etc lying around in my notebooks. Each chapter further gets its own breakdown, this time into four parts of a thousand words each - though of course I don't stick religiously to that, it's just a useful guide. I start on 1 January, and at least in theory I should be able to write a chapter a week.
