Three scenes in, and I think I've gotten some of the finer points of the plot worked out. I'm still not sure if I'll need to add a second POV character, or who that person may be. If I figure out a subplot, that'll help.
So, word count. 3754/90000. 4% done.
I've given myself until the end of June to get a draft completed. It's certainly doable; I just need to figure out WTF I'm doing with, you know, the plot. I may have to draw association diagrams: who's working with whom, who's lying to whom, if there are any double-crosses going on...
Being a full-on planner isn't something I see happening, let me tell you. Mostly, I figure out the high points of the story (the rough outline I posted under lock recently) then figure out what needs to happen in order to get there. I also have a sense of how the politics work, but since that's the part that will make me rewrite 25k words, I'm going to work that out better in advance this time. Somehow. Possibly with pencil and a drawing pad.
