Figured out why I need a plot summary first
So I can get all the background info I need to have in place for when I start writing the actual story.
See, right now, my plot summary is a lot of "Madness does this" and "Madness does that." But Madness isn't the main character - Nikki is. However, knowing what Madness does helps me to craft how Nikki's going to react to it - even if she doesn't know WHO or WHAT she's reacting to.
It's very complicated - but it makes sense to me.
Got about 2 handwritten pages written last night - still working on more. The summary is going very well - I'm happy with the story.
