serial headaches

somewhere along the line, i lost my mind. i really did. i decided that i would write a 26 episode serial about a sociopath. now i'm wondering if i have 26 episodes in me.

that really isn't that big of a problem. it is the planning that i'm not crazy about. i somehow managed to write a 21 or so chapter long book without planning it and now i have to figure out how to strech a story that i could potentially tell in two or three episodes (without much detail or scheming) into about 15. i decided to give myself a break and do most of the character devolopment in stand alone episodes, 11 in all.

i am sort of hoping that in half a year i'll have project x finished, but i think that is pushing the levels of decency. in all likelihood it will take me at least a year, if i didn't work on anything else. of course, project x is suppose to be the fun work that takes my mind off of the book i'm re-rewriting. hmmm. . .i think i screwed up somehwere along those lines.
