I finally (oh yes, don't snigger) sat down and worked on the plot of my current fic Blue, chapter by blessed chapter and I can tell you, if all goes to plan (cue my hollow laugh) and doesn't veer off on any sudden, wild tangents (shakes head with a wry smile) there will be 23 (twenty bloody three!) more chapters which I reckon will take at least til May 2009 to complete.
What larks, eh?
::is mildly depressed::
In other news, my novel is going great guns - still in the planning and research stage but coming along well, especially the cod-science and theory and Angel (the central character, the narrator)'s voice is coming through especially strong now, so I'm making excellent progress and am well pleased.
Just so you know. *g*

Twenty three more chapters of Blue??? Be still my beating heart! 'Cause more writing by you can only be a GOOD thing for me. =>}
Good luck!
That's great that your novel is going great guns. Go you! =>}
::hugs::
Ah.
It's a bit of a new experience for me, this level of planning, usually I'm a ore skin-of-the-teeth fic writer, I like to let my hair down but this fic was threatening to get way out of hand so I had to take a firm hand to it's bottie and lay some discipline on its ass.
Metaphorically, of course. I'm no spanker as you know. *g*
Re: Ah.
23 more chapters sure IS a lot of writing! Good luck! It's funny how this one has done that for you!
"I'm no spanker as you know. *g*"
More's the pity. Heh heh! ;>}

Yeah. ::sighs::

Ah, but notes is easy. It's making sense of them and putting them into some type of coherent order that's the charm. *g* I estimate the book's going to be at least 200,000 words long and take the best part of a year to write so 17,000 w of notes is but a blip. When I'm writing the real-stuff, best I can usually manage is 3,000w. at a stretch and that's on a very good day indeed.

And I was asleep during the downtime so I didn't miss it at all. Good timing LJ.
Cheering you back!
I'm very happy with the way everything's coming on. I've been hideously blocked on novel and fic alike for the best part of a year and it feels like emerging from a chrysallis.
I hope all's well down there with you and yours. ::blows kisses across time and space::
I just made me an icon! It has no relevance to this post but I'm using it anyway because new icon is always shiny.
