    Wow, nice idea. I've never worked with an outline before; my stories sometimes end up entirely differently from how I planned them and my characters sometimes act in totally unexpected ways. But this could definitely work, especially since it was detailed enough to let you know exactly where you're going but not so rigid you have no play. Very nice idea and it sounded like a most interesting story. Good luck with it!

    Nice way to do an outline. I like the simple one sentence one best. I have never tried to work with an outline... I never know how things end... it just seems to take on a life of itself, but I am going to try doing this and see wehre it leads me! Tallblondie had a contest (I saw it too late to enter) where you filled out all this bio information on your main character. I just did that and it was hard to do! It made me realize just how much I didn't know about my main characters. Good luck with Nano and your novels!

    Interesting. When I write I don't do outlines like that. I just let whatever comes to mind flow. Whether at first it makes sense or not. Then I sort of weed it out. Change it. Add to it. Whatever, sometimes it takes me a while to get it where I want it to go. Sometimes it gets done real quick. All depends on me. My mood. And what the story wants.
