It just keeps going... · 4:32am Sep 30th, 2023
Working on the outline for "Just a Pony" (lol yes I am actually working on some pony words for y'all), and like, what even is this...?
8294 words... eight-thousand two-hundred ninety-four words. For an outline! That's less than half done! Deer Baphomet save me for I will not survive the writing of this fucking fic, this mother fucker might be longer than "Playing House" even by the time it's done (and the outline is already longer than PH's outline...)
I'm getting fed up with this outline to tell the truth. I just keep plucking away at it and it just keeps not being done. I'm getting towards the end of Act II (out of IV) but I'm not at the end of Act II, so it feels like no progress is happening.
That said, I do love the direction the story is going in. It feels like I'm finally capable of telling exactly the kind of stories I like, and this feels like it'll be something truly fantastic. Mostly like, I just can't wait until people can read it so I have to fucking work on writing it but aaaaaaaaaaa it never finishes aaaaaaaaaaaa
The blog tags are a mood.
I know that feeling. We have an ENTIRE DISCORD SERVER dedicated to planning B&O.
I like to outline scene by scene, shot for shot. Basically, outline a scene, write that scene, outline another scene, then write that scene, ad infinitum, so I'm always making progress.
Woohoo! Really looking forward to this!

For me, I like to outline three whole story, with a detailed look at each chapter by chapter. They way I do have to edit for sentence structure and grammar, but the actual pacing and structure of the story is solid.

I'm glad to hear it! I hope it turns out to be every bit as good as I'm expecting it to be
wait, outlines aren't supposed to balloon that big?
