So I have a premap kind of, but I haven't written it down on paper. So I have a few choices, but basically it amounts to, do I abandon my goal to start writing as of November 1 and finishing by the end of the year, or do I take the long slow route and get more comprehensive notes first?
I choose the first option. That means that I only have three months left to do any prep work I intend to do, and there are a lot of things left to be completed.
Setting/Scenery
Plot
Casting
Special Effects etc
I have the skeleton for the most part, time to begin assembling the raw materials.
This month I will be primarily doing casting and setting details. One thing I want to do is 'screen test' our chosen cast with three short stories (that will not be included in the novel) primarily because I'll be posting them here and writing them all in one sitting, but it should help give me a feel for them once I start weaving everything together.
As for the plot, come September I'll put together the first half. I don't think I'll post the second half on here because I want the one, maybe two people reading this to be pleasantly surprised at the end.
The working title for now is "Flotsam"
