Priorties

As evident by this blog entry, I’ve decided to continue writing.

In my head, my story is developing nicely. I’ve haven't quite figured out all of the details, including the ending -- but I’m pretty sure I know where things are going.

On paper is another story. I’ve started drafting, but drafting takes a lot of time. I’ve made progress over the last week, but more could have been done.

I've determined, however, that I need to get what's in my head into a complete and comprehensive outline before turning to my story again. My goal is to complete my outline by next weekend.

I have come to the important realization that I’ve been putting more effort into this blog than in my overall goal. (Although, a reader might not consider that I’ve put a lot of effort into the blog.) I put a lot of effort into coming up with a topic to discuss and then the actual writing. Usually, when I sit down to write the first thing I draft is the blog. Well, today I did things a little differently. I worked on my story first, and then the blog. This obviously should be the correct order of things since the whole goal of TBC is to complete the end product.

Now that I have a short term goal and that my priorties are in order I hope to report progress next week.
