500 words written, and an outline broken down into scenes. When writing a mystery-type story one must plan ahead very carefully so one can strategically place where all the clues get discovered, and better yet, how they are discovered. This took me a few hours, and my right eye is twitching again, but it was very worth it. This outline is so specific, it's unlike any I've written before. No broad stroke story points, but exact - this scene happens, then this scene, then this scene, then this, and then you're here and this happens... It's like a script treatment.
Wow.
I'm feeling momentarily overwhelmed at how complicated I've just made my life by falling in love with this story, but I must soldier on. Or, as my mother would say, 'Put on your big girl panties, and deal with it.'
Yes, Mom.
I'm dealing.
But for the moment I'm going to shut my brain off and continue my quest of using plants to kill invading zombies - though I doubt this will help my twitching much.
