Writing a Series

I am writing a four book series.  I have Book One rough draft complete.

Yesterday, I plotted out the next two books, in longhand.  I worked on it before I went to work and then while I was on break, and lunch, I plotted some more.

I wanted to plot out the future books because I want to make sure what I put in Book One will line up with the future books.  

I will have the same characters in the all the books.  

The locations will be the same.

I bought magazines cut out pictures for the characters and hung them on a bullitine board in my office, so I  can see them everyday.  

I am going to live with these Characters for the next couple of years, so I want to see them and get to know them.

While I am working on the re-write of Book One.....I will be writing the rough draft for Book Two.

I want to have both books published next year.  I can do this if I focus and don't wander off and start another book with a totally new idea, which I have done in the past.

So what are you working on??  A Series, A stand alone book???

Want to get published in 2019???

I am going to blog about my writing process and how I write.  Leave comments on your daily writing habits and accomplishments and together we will be published in 2019.

This book is how I wrote a short story every month, including my writing and publishing schedule.  You can also write and publish a chapter a month, and start receiving royalty checks now and not a year from now.  This is what I did when I was learning all about self-publishing.  I created the Me VS Zombies series.

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning.

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published.  There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself.  If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it.  But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again.  I knew nothing when I started in 2011,  I had a computer.  I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter.  How do I get it uploaded on Amazon.  I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer.  I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this.  I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
