Re: Yesterday

I didn't ever post yesterday besides my little quickie so here's what I have decided. I think Chapter Five is staying where it is. I finished Chapter Six, although it turned out differently than I wanted it to in my head. Something that I had originally scheduled to happen in Six ended up not happening, so now I'm not sure where I'm gonna stick it in. Post Chapter Nine it looks like from this week's notes, but things are subject to change.

I really despise outlining, but I might have to sit down and reorganize the list of events I have made in my big black notebook. I'm really not looking forward to it, but it might become necessary. I've already deviated quite a bit from the list anyway. Having the list become obsolete defeats the purpose of the list in the first place.

Today Jason faces the fourth of the unthinkable horrors he promises us on the title card. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

Also, chapter recordings

Recording yourself is strangely addicting. I now have an understanding of myspace camera hoes. As I described some posts down, I've been recording myself speaking the chapters to help in my editing process. It was kind of a hassle at first, but now I kinda like it. I even signed up for a youtube channel to post the recordings on if people were interested. If it reaches that point, I'll need to redo them because I screw up quite a lot. And I haven't finalized edits on the earlier chapters even, so there's that as well.

But, regardless. If anyone is interested in that, head over here and let me know.


I must advise those who would be listening with a weak immune system--my voice has teh!gay. Consult your local medical practitioner to see if it's catching this season.

GAH!

For some reason today, the writing didn't start happening until four o'clock. Instead I read some fic, which turned out to be a good thing because it put me in the right mood to write Jason's mother. Apparently I need to be sliced up inside with just the tiniest sliver of hope for her to come out onto the page. Not good for her chances of appearing more often because I cannot get this twisted up just to get one character to talk to me.

Anyway, Chapter Seven is done. Finished just a little after six. Although I didn't start until later, I think that's the most uninterrupted I've written a chapter on this book. It was brutal, seriously. I hope it reads as visceral as it writes, because it was some pretty harsh stuff to crank out. Only time, as they say, will tell that, though.

Now, I'm off to go rework some of the info posts on the fiction journal before heading to a friend's to catch Supernatural.
