A Slow Down to Speed Up

Found a fantastic outline tool. I have run to the end of what was arleady written/outlined and am going to take a few days now to make a very detailed outline. Goal is to have the outline done by Monday. It will be a lot of work, but it will help keep everything organized and show me exactly what I have already.

I will be taking the month of November to leave this project. I am participating in National Novel Writing Month and I will be spending the entire month challenging myself to winning (meaning writing a 50,000 word novel) the challenge.

My ultimate goal, will be announced later in the week, once I have a layout of where the story is going and what is already completed.

I am struggling to keep everything straight. I overanalyze in general. Doing this outline in a detailed, timely manner is going to be an exercise in throwing away the restraints in my head. I will not overanalyze and just go for big plot points through to the end.

Currently, the book is at 35,000 words, the goal is a short novel of 60,000, which will be filled out during editing.
