That went a lot faster than I expected. After the days and days of work that went into creating the long synopsis, it took me less than half an hour to complete! Nine looks a little more complicated, but not as tough as the long synopsis.
Of course, it helps that the entire book is going to be told from only one viewpoint. That makes the whole process easier. The only complication in the entire process was re-combining scenes from all of the sentences in the long synopsis. Several of the lines were really all the same scene.
Scene being defined as a unique location and cast of characters. When any of those things change, the scene does as well. This has helped me see I have some massive scenes, and some very light weight ones. It also kinda lets me get a handle on the approximate length of the book.
107,000 pages!
Good lord. I have alot of work cut out for me here. Hopefully that estimate is on the high side (and there is some indication of that in the scene length estimates).
Gonna have a celebratory homebrew (an Imperial Oaked Coffee Stout, if you must know) this evening!
Until next time, Write in Plain Sight!
