Mutation Mutation Mutation...

[cedar_grove]

Over the last couple of days a serious, major mutation seems to have occurred in the outline for the series of stories. Not that I mind particularly, just... *shrug*

I guess you could consider this the entry for today... I'm not really up to typing much else.

The new windows at the house get installed tomorrow apparently. Yeah, first /I/ knew about it as well... I knew we were having a new kitchen - that's coming in December - but didn't know about the windows. I guess it makes sense, since they're replacing the kitchen windows too... but yeah - nice to know these things.

I'm really glad it's almost Friday. It's been a long week. Performance number 2 is in the evening, which means my schedule will be a little messed up... but at least it's the weekend... and at least 2 people from Work have offered to come along and help me watch the children, which is a weight off my mind. It's not so much while we're in the room or on the stage, but more the giving back to parents at the end... when there are 120 kids and parents all trying to do the same thing, just... scary. Least now there are three of them to not lose them.

Happy to be involved, but I'll be glad when it's over.

Mutation? Oh, yeah... that's a good description. Been there done that. Come to think of it, just about anything i write becomes muted to the point of being unrecognizable. That is why I don't bother with outlines.

I can hardlyw wait to see what happens> :)

Dear me, I couldn't survive without my outline. No matter how many times I have to rewrite it - I'll always keep an outline. It does /help/... well it does me, honestly.

I have an outline of sorts, in the sense that I know, or think I know where the story goes. Otherwise, I do an outline for the immediate sections ahead. As soon as I have an outline--I get writer's block. So, in reality, in spite of my best intetions, it's a very sketchy one and it's mostly in my head.

Amazing, how each one of us 'creates' differently. :) I am always impressed by the disciplined, systematic writers. The result of my way is that I do a lot of re-writes, but that would happen anyway, because I end up going in different directions. And when you've got a 400 page novel ms.--ouch!

I think it's a wonderful thing, the way we all work differently... I truly do. If we all worked in exactly the same way, nothing would be interesting.
