I know that it has been awhile since I blogged. I have been rewriting. I have the story in my head. I see it as a movie. I see it as a published book. I see myself holding the print copy of the book.
I have tightened the plot. Now I am going through it, adding detail, description It is a Series. I have 4-5 Books in this Series.
I was just going to write one book, then the next. Then I started thinking, I want all the books to connect. Same characters, each has their own story, but all the characters will be in every book. Same location.
So this is what I have been doing, while I am rewriting, which is taking longer than I thought it would.
1. Created Book Covers for each book.
I used the Kindle Book Converter for the book covers. I feel better if I already have the book cover.
2. Started plotting out each book, and whose story is for what book.
3. Posted the plots in my office.
4. Making lists of how the town changes with each book.
5. Time line. How much time passes between each book. Timeline is important
6. Character Arcs throughout all the books. All the characters will be different at the end of book 4.
7. Word Count for each book. I am shooting for 50,000 words, but that all can change as I write each book.
8. I have a legal pad throughout the house, so if I have a thought or idea, I jot it down or I will forget.
9. I am not giving up.
10. This is the series that I am meant to write
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF & NEVER GIVE UP
