New Type of Post - Novel in Progress
I've posted bits and pieces of text from various stories before (here, for example), and I've posted a number of outlines, but today's post displays the format I intend to use for the future: the story and outline are inline. I can write/modify/refine one scene at a time, and mark up the scenes by defining a "class" in the css for each scene: I mark it "bones" for an outline, "flesh" for a draft, or "skin" for a potentially finished product.
Keep in mind three things: 1) the story is full of spoilers, since the whole thing is outlined from beginning to end; 2) even the most fundamental aspects of the stories are subject to change; 3) and like the rest of this blog, the novel in progress post is mostly designed to be a tool for me. That doesn't mean I don't welcome readers or comments; quite the contrary. But if the story is too scattered or people don't want to spoil stories, that's okay. If you do want to follow the evolution of a story, however, read on!
