Re: Re: Oh, hey! The outlining is working for me!
Outlines are a necessity for me. I just wish they came easier. I'm rather fortunate in that this book is basically just set up for the rest of the story. It covers, basically, the last six months of the Roman year following Cannae (August-March 15) while everyone freaks the heck out that Hannibal has decimated their fighting force (actually, more than decimated, as almost 20% of the fighting force were dead or captured/sold into slavery) and might be coming to destroy their city. It gets all the people in the places they need to be and introduces all the main characters, who aren't all in the same place.

I'm enjoying getting to play around with all the magic in the historical sources. Giving Scipio visions and dreams for real is fun.
