I gave up on the outline for now and decided to revert back to my old method. I initially wanted to outline the whole book before starting the actual writing but after finishing half the outline I kind of lost direction. So I wrote the first chapter today and will write the last chapter next so I can hopefully figure out what to put in between. I have a couple of major events and a climax, but I'd like to have a couple more ups and downs in the denouement.

I finished my ED and EA applications this week so I plan to work on RD next so I can finish early and focus on thesis by December.
