Yes, subject to change.
Yesterday the plan was for the Plotting exercise to produce the backbone of a Short Story.
Today, delving further in, I find that there is simply too much material for a short story. So, a novel it will have to be.
The one question I must ask myself over the next few days though, as I finish the plotting course, and the plot along with it, is do I start the novel now. Or, do I leave it for November? NaNoWriMo...
I've another novel I'm now itching to get stuck into, and I'll plot that one as soon as I've finished plotting this one. The other novel is, like this one, one where I've written a short story or two while I've toyed with the idea and the setting. Call the short stories Back Story if you will. I should tidy them up and release them as tasters ahead of the Novels they relate to.
But, to get there I will need to finish writing and editing 😱 (Kill the Kraken...) something. However, I'm not entirely sure that starting a novel off before I've finished a previous one is an uncommon problem for a writer?
