Finally starting to make sense of it...

Treaty, that is. I've realized that I have, in essense, 5 different plotlines that are interwoven together. So, after talking to my brother, barlidoc and camilla_anna, I've decided to haul out my trusty note cards, do scenes for each plotline on the cards (cleverly tagged with initials for each plotline) and then basically do a timeline as my primary outline. Then I'll break it down into a chapter outline. Highly involved, yes, but I think it'll work. And there is SO much going on in this novel that I think I need to be this detailed.

Gods, this is going to be a mess to write! But sooooo much fun...

Got two plotlines done: Darius/Aislynn and the Secretary-General.
