Writing update: How I Terrified Myself

The other night I decided that if I was going to avoid my infamous writer's block on my novel, I needed to sit down and work out the plot in some simple format.  I decided to give a VERY basic summary of what I wanted each chapter to include.  I'm going about this in such a way that I consider each chapter to be somewhat of a short story in and of itself.  It helps focus.  Problem is, once I had told myself the entire story I now have 100 chapters of a few pages each.  We are looking at at least a 300 page novel here.  Which is both great and terrifying.  Here's to hoping I make it!
