I’ve finally finished up entering all my scene cards for TMA and getting them in order. I’ve assigned them to chapters, and printed up the Book Summary (I’m using the program StorYBook, a free and open source program for novel writing. The program doesn’t have every feature I’m looking for, but it has most of them and that’s good enough for me. :)

Anyway, the summary is 13 pages. It’s a bit misleading, as there’s stuff in it like locations and character’s present for each scene. Many of the scenes have little more than a sentence or two to tell me what’s supposed to happen in them. Once I’ve finished with the complete first draft (and after NaNoWriMo), I’m going to go back and put in more text for the scene summaries. That way I can use the book summary for a synopsis when it comes time to submit the thing. Good idea, don’t you think?

But not this weekend. Between housework and my hemming the kids’ pants, I’m not going to have much free time.
