This has been the first official week of the twenty percent project. Due to scheduling issues, deliverable one, which was supposed to be due today, has been cancelled. For me, deliverable one was an outline on the entirety of the novel but, because it has been cancelled, I can skip directly to deliverable two, which is act one, including the prologue and chapters 1-5. Note: One structure of novel planning is a three-act structure, which is essentially what I'm using. But, because act two is generally twice as long as the other two acts, I split it into two separate acts, making four acts total.
Since I can't tell you about the deliverable because it isn't complete, I'll tell you what I'm anticipating about the project. I've always wanted to tell a story about WWI. After doing my history fair project on women in WWI, I knew I would definitely write one. I began to explore possible story options and settled on this one (more information in my About section). I can't wait to tell everyone the story of Elsie. There are some really excellent plot twists and characters that I'm excited for readers to encounter.
There will also be challenges to telling it. Finding time to write with my school schedule and extra-curricular activities is an ongoing issue. But I will make every effort to meet my deadlines. Maintaining motivation will also be an struggle. I will still do everything to keep my words constant and together.
Okay. That's all for now. Thanks for reading.
