Oh yes, thank you, that does.

I never worked this way before. I normally have everything in my head - so I can tell you exactly where I'm going with a story, but I can't show you until I've written it - except for what I call 'plot points' - jottings to avoid plot holes (such as 'Doyle can't ride a bike he broke his leg in Chptr 3').

But lately I've been so tired it's made it hard to juggle all that together with RL in my head, as I would normally do.

So I wrote the whole lot out as chapter notes with a projected word count (because ages back I settled on a comfortable word count for chapters).

It feels a bit like painting by numbers, but I've left myself room to meander, and it appears to be working because I've written a bit more today.

Going to take a break now though :0)
