Writing Outline of the Day
Today is a hardcore editing day for me. Basically, I already cut 40 pages out of my 80 page novel (uh, beginning of a novel) Shades of Villainy and I'm ready to cut, cut, cut some more. But it's not a true cut, because I have most of the words I want. They're just in the very wrong place. This is what I'm thinking of working on today:
-A Night to Remember-
1. Main character Callix Ruelo wants so badly to kill someone. We don't know why other than that it's her nature/personality.
2. Callix Ruelo usually calms down after thinking about her father and what would happen when he feels like she feels. Except that night.
3. Callix Ruelo randomly strips down and looks at herself in her vanity mirror.
4. This is the third novel in a trilogy, so we already know what she looks like and that she's a cambion (half human-half demon hybrid thing). Now we get an infodump on cambions in general.
5. Then it gets Callix Ruelo specific. We find out that she killed her best friend and her best friend's best friend in a semi-intentional car crash.
6. Callix Ruelo wants to kill someone because her best friend (who is on the same death world as Callix) won't talk to her and gets strangely upset when Callix makes the first attempt.
7. The point of the chapter is that finally after ignoring her, Callix's best friend grudgingly invites her to a costume ball at their new housing (a castle).
