A quick update on the More Space project. Since my first stab outline, I've been turning it over in my mind.
10,000 words drafted by mid-February is starting to feel daunting! It's one thing to bash out a blog entry, but an essay.. that will need organising, won't it? How can I frame this so that it's fun to write, not the increasingly gutwrenching prospect that it is this Friday night?
[UPDATE] Todd says it's 5,000 to 10,000 words. Wow, the problem halved overnight without me doing a thing. Which, by the way, might be a good story with which to open the book. In the comments, Tom Guarriello contrasts a guy who seems to write 10,000 words a day

Johnnie: Perhaps you can look at this from an improv POV. There are improv scenes, and then there are improv movies, like Best in Show (I love that movie), which is a bunch of improv scenes linked together.
Start with a loosely structured outline and then do a couple scenes a day.
And yes, we better get moving on our essays, hadn't we?

Johnnie, I know what you mean about being intimidated by a 10K word requirement. Then I read Tom Barnett's blog and think, "geez, what kind of wimp am I?"
