Weekend Progress 7-MAR-11

I did what I set out to do, but not much more. :(

I made 11 index cards that cover the biggest, most essential scenes in the book (I used "Index Cards", an app for the iPad). Now, there's some flexibility with these as I'm not 100% sure they're the right ones. I've got two cards that feel like they're really just one scene, even though they each have a beginning, middle, and end. But the second cannot happen without the first and there's no time break between the two.

And the 11th card is the epilogue for the whole book, so I don't think that one counts.

I also got more of a handle on the primary antagonist. Problem is, I think I may have made him too understandable. I'm not a fan of explaining away the villain - I like my bad guys to be Bad. After some thought though, given his side of the story, I could understand why he's feeling what he does... His methods may have gone off the deep end a bit though.

So, more prep work accomplished, but no writing. Meh.
