Not burned out yet

So, it's been awhile (sort of) since I've posted. The reality is I probably won't be posting every day until it starts, but I'll be trying to post more often. I haven't been neglecting my writing work over the past few days, though. Oh, no! Here's what I've done just this evening:

• Made a change to a certain scene: it now takes place at midnight rather than dawn.
• Decided that a whole legend would be told in rhyme rather than prose. After all, there's no morbid prophecy in this story.
• Fleshed out the plans for some intense and crucial action scenes.
• Made lots of decisions regarding just how the characters discover their new powers.
• Filled in some gaping holes involving important scenes.
• JUST ABOUT FINISHED MY STORY OUTLINE!

But I'm not done planning. Oh, definitely not. I still need to finish my character sheets. Those are quick, easy, and fun, so they shouldn't pose a problem. But after that I need to write a complete list of all the scenes in my novel. Uh-oh. I guess I can handle it. And I suppose it's worth it. Wouldn't want to leave something out, right?

To be honest, I'm surprised I made it this far without getting burnout, especially considering I've never seriously plotted a novel before. I think it's going quite well. Hopefully I'll be able to power through, dig 50K words out of it, and finish in a month.
