agilebritRight before bed last night, I figured out exactly the order of events for the end of the Won His Soul story. Now, I'm a pantser, not an outliner, but it seemed kind of stupid not to write down the basic points, and so I did. And now I know where I'm going and how I'm getting there. I may actually stick an END at the bottom of this thing today.
And then this morning upon awakening, I came up with a first line for the collab-fic with my RP partner, if she likes it. It will be set in this universe, which we call "Probationary Angels."
A little about my process on the Won His Soul story: This is a much more ambitious project than I usually take on. I knew going in that it was going to be long, and that it had a Big Idea of pretty large scope. In fact, it's got three of the four MICE elements (Idea, Character, Event), with some things about the Milieu also playing a fairly significant role. In order to organize my thoughts, I basically whiteboarded the thing on a sheet of paper with a pencil, which is something I've never done before.
This process worked so well that I may carry it forward to other projects. It's a lot more free-form than an actual point-by-point outline, and it let my thoughts be organized while keeping them organic and not too organized, if that makes sense. If you haven't tried it, perhaps you should. :)
