Finishing the Focus Plan for The Gaia Novel.

Today I finished the Focus Plan for my large novel series project.

Finishing the book, with a stream of suicides, deaths, births, escapes and catastrophes, seems odd to me. But the sense of having done it is enormously satisfying.

I reread it quickly and have been mulling over changes. Because part of me wants to Apply my plan NOW, starting writing at page one and seeing how far and fast I can go. And then part of me says: Hold on, wait. I intend this to be as good a novel as possible. Wait and review the Focus Plan in a little while with a calmer glance.

Enormously satisfying experience.
