Holidays, outlining, and other craziness

Somehow it's the week of Thanksgiving. Can anyone explain to me how that possibly happened? I'm rather surprised by it. Though the amount of crazy in my life lately certain would explain how it got here :) Still, it's been some good crazy mixed in with real crazy, and you know, just general life stuff. So, it's managed to get to Turkey Time and I have a few days off from school. Huzzah! Maybe I'll actually get caught up on a few things...

...maybe...

....like the outline for my agent on the story I pitched a few weeks ago. Uh-huh. I'm a pantster. It's how I've always written, though I certainly always wanted to be more of a planner, as I think it suits my personality a little better overall. And yet, the creative process has always been a little more organic than the other meticulous decisions and events in my life (whether those decisions actually ended up being meticulous or not, haha!). But, perhaps it's time to change that. Anyone have any good suggestions on how they like to outline? I've read a ton of posts around the web lately, but I value my blogging buddie's ideas most :)

And yeah, the idea I'm outlining? Oh my goodness. If I can pull this off it's going to be fun! Well, I think so at least. And my agent does, too. But we'll see. It's a little American Gods meets Nightmare Before Christmas. I hope at least ;) Though comparing myself in any way to these works totally makes me cringe, as I am NOWHERE in that league. But, the general idea is there...

Anyhow, rambling post today as I haven't done one in a while and I'm in the middle of cooking/grading/editing/brainstorming/paying bills. Or something like that...
