Outlining (status)

Figured out I have about 30-35 scenes left to write in Book 1. So far I plotted out 15 scenes (some may take more than 1 scene to write). I'd like to figure out 15 more events so that I have a nice cushion anyway. Yay, so happy I decided to do this. Now what 15 other things can I do to my MC...?

and my END is figured out--how absolutely cool is that? so far, I only had series end and vague idea of how I would leave it off. now I actually have an event. YAY.

UPDATE: Still struggling. No new scenes yet. I figured out what I was missing. I need 15 scenes where things go from bad to worse until she is the cheese [...cheese stands alone...]. time to ponder on what she can mess up.

UPDATE: plotting is freakin' hard. I can not think of what evil things to do with my character. So far, they're all stuff that should happen later.

UPDATE: WELL, on the BRIGHT side, I have come up with all kinds of neaty scenes for Book 2 that I cannot wait to write. Starting to think I need to start writing my existing scenes (remaining scenes for bk 1). because they are bound to grow and suggest more.

UPDATE: And I now have about 19 (give or take, some may be too short, some may grow to 2-3 scenes once the events and consequences are written). Still need another 5 -8 at least.
