My outline collapsed AGAIN. But this time, I think I may, just may have figured things out. Maybe. The biggest issue that’s been fixed is my “fun and games” portion of the novel really is fun and games, not a dark spiral.

That really helps a lot.
At this specific moment, I’m at the midpoint of the novel’s outline. I am either going to keep moving along, or take a little bit of a break for the rest of the day. This fleshing out the outline has really taken a lot out of me.
But I continue to have lingering, chronic teeth issues and I’m afraid the jig will b up sooner rather than later and I’ll be in such severe pain that I can think straight, much less work on an outline. I’m hoping I can stagger along long enough for my dentist appointment later this month.
But, I don’t know.
Anyway, AI is really helping me a great deal with the outline. But it’s not perfect. It’s too easy to just use it all as a crutch, only to find out that the AI has totally fucked things up by hallucinating and everything has to be redone.
This has happened more times than I would like to think.
Wish me luck.
