My Longest Outline Ever

 
I just completed the initial draft of my outline for GoSH2, the sequel to New Fairy Moon. At just over 11K words, this is the longest outline I’ve ever written. So far, both GoSH books have had longer outlines than I generally create. Which is kinda funny, since I plan for the GoSH books to be about 70K words when finished, significantly shorter than the Gunwitch novels (100K-ish) whose outlines are around 5K words.
 
I don’t really understand it. I’ve talked about this before, last November. Still not sure what the difference is.
 
If GoSH2 has the same outline-to-completed-word-count ration as GoSH1, it’ll weigh in about 90K words when completed. Which is OK, I guess. My daughter is actually all for that. She wants the books to be longer.
 
I guess we’ll see how it all shakes out. Hopefully, before Thanksgiving.
 
I plan to start writing GoSH2 from this somewhat oversized outline next week. More news as it happens.
 
Have a good weekend!
