Crazy Wall

I know this is cliche, but I swear the days go by faster and faster. I feel like it should still be around the start of October, not the day after Halloween.

As I mentioned last month, I plan to unofficially take advantage of NaNoWriMo to get some Deer Me scripts written. The "unofficially" means I am not actually going to create a project on the NaNoWriMo website or check in throughout the month. I instead plan to simply make a goal of dedicating two or more hours per day this month to writing.

This past week or two, I have been preparing to write. I sat through hours of voice memos to transcribe the ideas I had recorded. After that, I started sorting through my scattered notes, which I am still doing. I feel like what I need now is something between a big timeline and a "crazy wall," since I have so many concepts, but they need to be organized into one cohesive arc.

This is somewhat challenging, since most are stand-alone stories that do not seem obviously interwoven. However, they are connected by cascading consequences. A story about Jared discussing his fur color is going to impact a story about whether Nichole should have a nickname. I have to make sure the Jared fur story comes before the Nichole nickname story. That is the kind of thing I am trying to sort now.

Honestly, sorting such messes is the current reason Deer Me remains on its ridiculously long hiatus. Help!
