It’s 856 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.

Hit it!

The outline is done.  After sending it out, I saw some problems which I’ve fixed (we’ll see what the feedback/suggestions will be).  I’ve added a few scenes.   All the scenes are entered in yWriter.  All the characters, notes and scribbles and notions are entered.  I’ve even gotten a new idea that just twists everything around in a really good way.   It’s as good and as detailed as it’s going to get without getting into the really fiddly bits.

I could spend more and more time with less and less returns.

I’ve laid in a serious stock of Diet Mountain Dew (writer’s fuel for me).

It’s time to write.

Tonight, after the baby goes down, there’s gonna be writing.

The Bell is ringing.   This time, I’m not stopping til Revenant is done and sent.
