I have this tendency to outline after I write the story. I go through and catalog all the scenes – the characters in it, the time and location, and the main point of the scene. I use this to check for consistency errors. It works fairly well, but if I try to do this before I write the story, the outline becomes useless and far too restricting.
I suppose I am one of those free-write people.
Speaking of writing, I am working on the rewrites to my Dragon Twins Trilogy. I also have determined how to repair the ending, so my hope is to finish the rewrites for this novel by the end of the summer. As I work on these rewrites, I’ve been updating the outline for my consistency checks.
So this is my update for the week. I haven’t felt all that particularly well, and so my big research update is once again pushed back. I apologize for this.

Open the door, step inside. Here you find a forest, teeming with animals and birds, which sweeps up the sides of snow-capped mountains. Here in the small pocket of beauty, one finds the essence of my soul.
A writer at heart, I delve deep into the finer details of humanity's spirit, and seek to share with others what gems I uncover. I find life exciting and full of interesting surprises, and despite the great pain that often confronts me, I persevere with the joy in my heart still bubbling, and the light of my soul still aflame.
There is a time and a place to introspect one's self, but often enough it is best to not look back in regret, but leap forward in the present toward the achievement of one's deepest dreams.
I am a wanderer. An explorer. One place cannot contain me for long, but to my friends and family, I remain loyal, for love is not bound by time nor place. Once cultivated and nourished continuously, it binds people together on a journey through the unknown reaches of life.
