Editing complete. Chopped off a good four pages from the outline and tightened up the rest. Switched a bunch of things around in the process. Going to do some character sheets so I can keep track of the cast. Writing will probably be put on hold for a few days, so I can deal with this final for class, and I'll be getting started on Tuesday because I can't wait until April.
Working Title: Genesis Machine (this will be getting changed)
Genre: MG Fantasy
Summary: When a young boy goes to sleep on the eve of his tenth birthday and signs a contract within the strangest dream he's ever had, he has no idea of what's to come. He begins to dream of a hidden sanctum and is told that as the only one to ever reach it it's up to him to claim the power at its heart for his own. However, in order to do so he'll need to contend with the echoes of the dead god that once inhabited it. The daytime hours hold their own surprises when he discovers the awakening of his own wondrous powers by summoning forth a childhood imaginary friend.
But trouble rears its head in short order and soon the boy is pursued by two men who seek his power for their own ends. Not only that, but he begins to get the feeling that there is more to the sanctum than he was told. What really waits at the heart of the sanctum? Why does the dead god sound more human than divine in his writings? And what happened to the second person in those writings?
Things aren't what they seem during the day or night. And if this boy doesn't figure out the truth then his uncertain future won't last very long.

Monthly WIP: March Part 2
And that's it. For the first time in my life I've finally done it. I have successfully created an outline of a novel that spans from beginning to end. I know everything that needs to go into the story and all the characters in it. However I'm still not done. I'll take a few days, maybe a week, away from the outline and come back to it with fresh eyes ready for editing. Only then will I commence actually writing the novel.
Still excited though. With a solid outline to go off of my novel comes one step closer to completion. I'll likely start writing it in April to go along with Camp Wrimo, which will further spur me onwards to 50K words by the
Monthly WIP: March
Golden Wings is being put on hold as I work on a WIP that's technically not new, but I finally figured out how to make it workable for a novel. I have the backstory completed, the first novel 1/3 plotted, the overall story in mind, and am currently writing out all the different characters along with the rules they follow. WikidPad is making this incredibly simple. I think I'll have the whole thing outlined by the end of the week.
I'm really excited about this one because it's been the one WIP I've come back to now and again to tinker with it in an attempt to get it going. Now I think this can be the one. To give an idea of how long this has
Monthly WIP: February
So I decided that I have too many ideas for books, an ADD tendency to hare off on a new idea because it's shiny, and no completed novels despite writing for a number of years. Obviously this needs to change, so I'm forcing myself to select one idea and play with it for a month. Outline, write a few chapters, get some characters down, whatever. Any new ideas are jotted down in a Notepad file and put in their own subfolder. Then I go back to work on the first idea. The goal is to determine whether the idea is viable enough to be made into a full-fledged story. If the answer is yes then I have the skeleton of a novel to flesh out with plenty of

Well I am an aspiring supervillain. I tend to rob armored trucks every couple of weeks to get the heroes' attention. Not like I can actually spend all the money when it's marked bills. I use Convert Anon. They take the sack of useless cash and pay me
