Gonna be honest here. I haven't worked on planning in a while. I could lie and say it's because I'm really busy and haven't had any time to write, but it's really because I'm a lazy bum that has zero effort to overcome writer's block.
Getting started on an outline is scaring me. I don't want to put too much work in too early, but I feel as though I won't know enough about who my characters are and who and what needs to be there until I do get a move on. Also, I have yet to install word 2007 onto my computer and I refuse to scratch and scribble an outline onto notebook paper until then.
As far as long term goals go with this, there really aren't any. I certainly don't intend on becoming a professional writer in the future. There's a really wonderful pipe dream I have that some publisher will want to pick up my book and I'll be able to go to college and pursue writing and write more books and be rich and young and beautiful forever until I die. The end. Likely, right?
So far, my working title isn't where I want it to be. Alas, isn't that why it's called a working title? If anyone comes up with another fancy word for story that isn't super widely used (chronicle, saga, series, etc.) then please clue me in. I'd really appreciate. As of now, I'm using parable, but I'm really not too fond of it.
