I'm currently in the middle of what is, in fiction, considered extensive plotting. I'm not really focusing as much on getting the words right, as much as I'm intent on getting the order of the scenes and events right.
As this is a memoir, there aren't any curves that my characters that will suddenly get thrown that I don't know about. I know exactly what happens and how, and I just have to make sure I've positioned everything correctly so that there's some payoff for the reader. Very left-brained work.
Got another 1,000 words down today. They're not very pretty words, but they're giving me an idea of how I want to structure this story and the way in which I'm going to tell it. I'm sure I can pretty it up later.
