I am going insane.
It's my own damn fault, really. I didn't re-read the listing on the publishing company I'm going to submit Different to until today. When I discovered that, not only do I need a synopsis, I also need an outline.
Fuck.
On the good side, I suppose, this is helping me to tighten up my novel. A lot. I've figured out a lot of stuff, not the least of which is that there's this whole spectrum thing going on with Cowboy at one end, Street at the other, and Alex balancing them both out in the middle. And Gretel, but the story's about Alex, not Gretel. Maybe there'll be another story about Gretel. But not this one.
And if I can't finish the outline, synopses, and query letters by Sunday night, I don't get to watch Deadwood. SO there's my motivation.
