Alpennia Writing Retreat: Day 1

[hrj]

As previously announced, I'm taking this week to do an intensive push to complete the first draft of Mother of Souls before the end of 2015. (Ideally, several days before the end of 2015.)

To this end, I'll be posting brief daily updates to prove I'm still on track.

Today I finished cleaning up chapters 23 and 24. My dictation had gotten ahead of the clean-up, so I have one scene already written for chapter 25. I'm mostly going to take the rest of the day off, except for trying to do a bit more advance outlining in chapters that aren't already solidly outlined. Here's the to-do list and progress chart:

Sat. Dec 19: Chapter 23 (Barbara) and 24 (Luzie) (clean-up only)
Sun. Dec 20: Chapter 25 (Jeanne) 827 words, needs more outline
Mon. Dec 21: Chapter 26 (Serafina) needs more outlining, particularly adding in political stuff
Tue. Dec 22: Chapter 27 (Margerit) has outline but needs to be updated for other changes
Wed. Dec 23: Chapter 28 (Luzie) solidly outlined
Thu. Dec 24: Chapter 29 (Barbara) outline is full but a bit of a mess, needs updating
Fri. Dec 25: Chapter 30 (Serafina) solidly outlined but needs updating
Sat. Dec 26: Chapter 31 (Margerit) solidly outlined but needs updating
Sun. Dec 27: Chapter 32 (Luzie) solidly outlined but needs updating -- and done!
