I'm sort of looking forward to it, sort of dreading it. I feel like I'm on the verge of potential greatness and at the same time, terrified that I'll drop the ball and end up doing revisions for-ever... Good luck with your pages!

Too many on the list makes me stress out. Does the first draft just suck...or is it sucking blood? Better remember that iron supplement, LOL. Having more details is like a to-do list for me.

It's not the same as editing. I'll do that once I'm finished with the draft and have let it sit for a while. I will make sure I get that iron tablet. ;) I'm off to remind myself once again that this draft CAN and WILL suck. :D *ggg* May, I fill in as many details as possible because it makes me write faster.

I plan to fill in the shadows during NaNo or during revisions. I like this idea and don't want to lose it to "I feel like I've already written it because I've outlined it in so much detail." Have fun and take an iron supplement because you'll be losing so much blood. LOL. I’m typing in my notes (I can’t read half of them LOL) for my NaNo WIP.
