Organizing for "The Philogynist"

Painting, titled "Writer's Block."







At lunch time, I went up to the Albany-Rensselaer Train Station, had a BLT (extra mayo, please, for my heart!) and began thinking about how to move forward with the novel.

I even have a work plan:

Action Step (Due Date)

1. Create written statement of intent. (1/5/08)

2. Create list of main characters and character profiles. (1/5/08)

3. Develop plot outline. (2/7/08)

4. Begin sketching and painting relative to the novel (ASAP and Continuous)

5. Begin writing the novel (start date 2/12/08).

Those friends of mine who read the blog are kindly asked, if they don't see much writing about the novel on the blog over the next few months, to ask me about it every now and then. Without nagging! I need some sort of audience and doing this just for my own benefit is not, sadly, going to get it done.
