I love outlines. I think...I set everything up, I know the characters, and then...voila! I'll know how it goes.
But, it never happens that way. I just reached chapter 5 for my NaNoWriMo project. The characters started subverting my carefully set plans two chapters ago. I think they're laughing at me... somewhere... thinking "Su-cker!"
I certainly feel like it. The story will still reach the climax I anticipated...but not under the same conditions I'd expected. And for the next two to three chapters I have no idea what's about to happen.
But I know where it's headed. So there's that.
Back to work :P
