An actual outline!

This is a first: weeks before the opening day of Script Frenzy, I have an actual idea and a starting outline.  I am taken aback by this remarkable turn of events.  I know what I want to do and I am actively taking steps to execute it.  It is so virtuous, I might pollute the atmosphere with my air of self-satisfaction. 

Please do not think this means I have no room for crazy exploration.  There are HUNDREDS if not THOUSAND of ways I can run this sucker off the tracks.  But the fact I have been able to focus enough to structure a roadmap of the project gives me a warm tingle inside, like drinking some very sweet liqueur. Sometimes just the act of planning gives a strange satisfaction. 

Execution may prove to be another problem, but I am curious to see if there is any difference in the motivation department when I already have a plan in place and can project what I need to write each day  - not just how much I need to write.  It should be interesting. 

I am also going to explore a new writing convention: the monologue cycle.  I am going to write one hundred monologues on a single theme.  The theme is KISS.  Hopefully there will be enough in that to keep me going forward. 

This Script Frenzy marks the first time I will crack out and really use the Scrivener software.  So far I have been impressed with the outlining and organizing capacity.  To be honest I doubt I would be working so dilligently on the outline if I didn't want to somehow impress the software that despite my months of letting it gather dust, I am in fact a serious person who intends to use it to write lots of things, lovely things, valuable and important things.  Or at least things that do not suck.
