that writing thing

janne_dI've done a bit more thinking about the planning of my ongoing girl!John WIP and actually managed to organise my notes into something resembling a running order and a three section plan.
The good:
1. I have completed the first of the three sections (I think) and started the second (the boundaries between them are pretty blurry, but that's currently how I'm thinking of it)
2. I have a pretty good idea of what is going to make up section 2, though the order isn't set in stone
3. I got some better ideas this week about how to do some of 2 and 3, which is cool
The bad:
1. Section 3 is a little sparse with plot ideas aside from the personal/emotional
2. On finishing section 1, it stands at approx. 49,500 words
3. This means I probably have at least that much to write again
4. This also means that it is likely to be the longest thing I have ever written, and I'm including my PhD thesis in that
5. This is very scary
But as a way to avoid actually working on the fic, it worked out really well... what, I can't procrastinate? But it's my major talent!

I've sorted out the cool idea. It just needs at least another 20,000 words. I might die first. I'm trying to treat it like Nano.
Nano sounds like a sexually transmitted disease, but then 10% of men think chlamydia is a flower.
