I just checked my (unfinished) outline and realized I'm through the first four pages and have eight more written. I have just over 16000 words typed. That means I'm averaging about 4000 words per page of outline.

I know where I want the novel to go, so I'll take the time to finish the outline and ensure I have enough story lined up for the 50000 words. The most intense parts are coming, so it may end up as more than 4000 words per outline page.

I'm so excited now, I can see a way to the end. That light at the end of the tunnel ISN'T the headlight of a fast approaching train.
