And it's finished!

All 55 chapters planned out now, so I can spend tomorrow just relaxing and forgetting what I've spent the last 5 days planning!  lol

10 down, 5 to go

It's Alex's birthday and KT has just given him his gift and told him to open his eyes.

Just starting to tie up any loose ends now... I'm definitely liking the Scenes part of yWriter!

10 to go

Just finished planning out 45 of the 55 chapters in the novel.

Andrew is coming over tomorrow so I'm gonna take me laptop upstairs with me tonight to be ready for the planning as soon as I wake up and walked Mitzi tomorrow morning... wish me luck!

15 chapters left to plan now

Disappointingly I've only managed to plan out 5 chapters today, but I'm gonna take me prescriptions and head to bed for an early night then hopefully I'll be able to plan out 10 tomorrow and the last 5 on Saturday.

I know it's only 4.30pm, but I've had several late nights recently so want to catch up on my sleep a bit.

Nite nite orl!

20 chapters left to plan out

Didn't plan out as many chapters as I hoped today, but it's less to do tomorrow I suppose!

I've reached the half way point now

Just finished planning out scene 3 of chapter 27 of 55.

It's tough going thinking up so many ideas and for the first time ever I'm planning it scene by scene instead of chapter by chapter, so I've got to come up with even more ideas than usual.

Hopefully having everything planned out will make it easier to write and stop the dreaded writer's block I usually have with MG and YA novels, purely because they are so much longer than ECB's!

Couldn't have planned out so many chapters without the help of SCBWI though - especially today!

Need to come up with some more words that the bullies can call KT though!  I've got a few, but I'm not comfortable with using them so am on the lookout for some others for KT who is in the bottom set for every lesson except music... can you help me out pretty please?

Over a third of my next novel planned out this afternoon

I've planned out up to chapter 20 today and there will be 53 chapters at 750 words per chapter and three scenes in each chapter to hopefully make just under 45k words!

Gonna leave it until next week before I start writing it though, so that I can forget the ECB that I finished yesterday!
