Whoa-oa ... halfway there ...

I reached the halfway point today in the detailed outline of my WIP. Two hundred pages condensed down into about eight so far. Shew. I think this is going to be an extremely helpful tool when I'm finally finished. I'm already seeing the gaps, places where I've renamed characters accidentally, and spots where the conflict needs to be cranked way up.

The tasty sandwich at my local coffee shop today helped a lot, too.

I'll probably trek over to the public library again tomorrow. I got a lot done there yesterday. The only problem with working away from home without a buddy is when you have to go potty. It's a pain to have to pack everything up just to make a five-minute detour. There were two LDS guys on mission hiding out in the library, too (it's been really cold here this week), and I almost asked one of them to watch my stuff. But, they'd been there a few hours already, and sure enough, when I returned, they had headed back outside to their waiting bikes. And for all I know, maybe they were just dressed like missionaries, waiting to steal computers from unsuspecting persons such as I. Naw, probably not. :-D
