I have a 5 Book I want to write.  It has been in my head for over a year, but now I have to get it the story on paper and get it published.  The Characters are screaming at me.  I have no choice but to write their story.

Each Book will be a Stand Alone Book, but there will a connection mentioned that ties all 4 books together.  I have a general idea of what each book is.  Plots, Characters and Conflict.  

So Book 1 I had a rough draft half finished. Then I wanted to write the last book so I would know how it would all end and then I could go back to the other books and add things that make all the books connect.

So I decided  to write 125,000 and write the last book, and then go back to the first book.  Are you confused yet???  I am. I have characters screaming in my head.

So I stopped working on the last book, because I am having problems with plot problems.  So I went back to the first book and close to finishing the rough draft.  Then I will work on the 2nd book.

Writing a book is not easy.  People who do not write, always says, "I can write a book."  They never do.

I have this 4 Book Series and I can't publish book one, if I am not sure what is going in Book 4 because once Book 1 is published, I can not go and change a major plot point or a character.  

So if I have a rough draft of all 4 books, then I will have the skeleton of each book.  All 4 Books will connect and then I can start on my rewrites next year and publish them.

Not sure if any of this makes sense.  Everyone writes different.  What works for one writer, will not work for another writer.  So you just need to write.  As you can see, the more I am writing the more my word count is increasing.  

I know what I want to write.  I know that I want to Publish all 4 books next year.  So I have to write.  Yes I did miss days of writing due to headaches but that is life, not an excuse.  I am just writing more now that my headache is gone.  I get them like twice a month.  I just deal with them.  

So keep on writing.  Leave a comment and let me know what you are writing on.
