Dual screen action!

dotsandlinesStats time:
I got a very basic word-processor-type app(?) for my Kindle and transferred most of my out-of-narrative notes into it. My thought is that I can work on the outline while out and about, on lunch break and such, and use it while I write. Kind of like the WiiU system, with the main screen for the game and a little screen for maps and such. ...only using what I already have, instead of inventing a whole new gadget.
Anyhow: trying to get a coherent outline together, beginning of story to end. Most of what's written is near the end(ish), after all.
Words without notes: 144,663 (+782)
With notes: 146,532 (1,869 of notes, -5,556 since last time - as noted, they've moved onto the Kindle outline)
Pages: 275 (-12, mostly because of notes)
We'll see how this goes. As long as the notes aren't clogging up my document, I think I'll drop them from the stats.
The outlining is a symptom of a larger determination to make more progress - not because I "have to" but because I want to. I am more interested in the narrators who have seen sort of blah till now, and I'm more interested in the early phases of the story. So I'd like to indulge that while it lasts.
