I finished a novel outline

Hey,

Long time, no see. I know this forum hasn't heard a ton out of me. I went to college and then graduated into unemployment and depression. I've always deeply identified with myself through my writing, though, and such a long bout of not being a writer (the comics I make don't really scratch that itch), I'd started to really spiral downhill.

And then, like magic, over the last two days, I finished an outline for a novel. I've never outlined all the way from A to Z before. Everything was always seat-of-the-pants or a partial outline and then the thought, "eh, I'll wing it from here."

I don't know if this project will go anywhere, but it feels amazing to be back in the writer's chair.

Congrats! Outlining can be hard! It’s like you plan something, and then you get another idea that changes everything. At least that’s how it is for me. Good luck with your story!

I had no idea how over-complicated I had made my idea until I took a popular outlining method and started cutting stuff off. And the stuff I cut is going to EASILY be a second book in the same setting. =)

Thank you, everyone. =)
