I'm always nervous, or more to the point, I have always been nervous about that. So nervous in fact that I have never actually done it. But then again, that'll likely be the topic of one of my IWSG posts in the near future.<br /><br />Keep doing all you do. I'm sure your nine part serial will come to fruition. I've found myself to always be anxious about something new I'm starting, only to end up enjoying and loving it as I've come close to the end. I would think, every writer feels that.

Perhaps if you wrote the outline in a narrative form, like a synopsis, or conversation with your muse, she will allow some amount of plotting?

So as a word of advice from my pantser side, I say to let your muse take over and pants away. You can always shape up and outline the story later for your new 9 part serial.Lidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185947128989933152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-53415525988473476452015-09-02T21:54:41.416-04:002015-09-02T21:54:41.416-04:00Your writing is amazing!

It'd make the writing easier. You can nix plot holes before they happen.
