Things are slowly getting rolling again on The Wolves We Are, which is good because I was about to take a blowtorch to the outline. I’m apparently a pure-blooded pantser, but I was hoping I could tame my muses long enough to get a short 8-10k short story done.

This is where all that fanfic writing really should have given me the hint… (I’ll finish Hushed and White With Snow eventually, really!)

Anywho, I’ve decided to embrace my NaNo habits and just write a very rough first draft all the way through. I’m still fighting with my inner editor over various tweaks and I’m getting tired of rewriting instead of moving forward. Most likely I’ll end up cutting out a lot of the dialog, but that means lots of DVD extras for later.

Once I have the rough work done, I’ll come back and polish things to a before posting. It won’t be a perfect draft, nothing ever is, but it should be a much better end result. I just want to have this done and checked off my to do list by the end of June!
So this is my current progress report, look for more as I hack things into shape:
