Story Time

All my abortive attempts at writing a novel have finally led me somewhere. Despite what Stephen King says, I've got a basic outline for the story, because I just can't keep it all in my head and keep working. I know where this is going to go, and what's at stake. I don't know the exacts of it, but there is enough of a basic framework to hang the characters upon. I basically know who they are, what they want, and all I have to do is get them to clash.

This is one of those things where I need to take a two week vacation to make some inroads on this thing, though, realistically, if I took a two week vacation, I'd sleep the entire time. Still, there's a lot that needs to be put down, but it feels like a real story, a complete story. I can write this, yes I can.

Of course, there's that fear that I may get this done, get this done great, and no one will publish it. You think you've seen me flip out? You ain't seen nothing yet.
