I’ve been neglectful of the blog this week. But in my defense, I’ve been working and sometimes shifting mental gears, as it were to post here is difficult, especially when scenes and dialogue begin to nag at you. I have not yet started to write the first of these stories, but that fact has eluded my characters and scenes and dialogue have become cloying.
On the bright side, I’ve worked out most of the general storylines for these next three books, as well as what particular facts will circulate through all of them as well. I don’t plot, per se, but I do figure out the main goals and motivations for my characters. Something I find necessary to do even for a novella.
These next three books are all single title, stand alone stories. However, they are all connected. A sort of trilogy I guess.
I’m being vague I know. On purpose
Today, however, brings edits. I’ll start going through the novella I finished a week or so ago to begin smoothing out the storyline and plot hiccups my characters threw in there for me. I’ve been hesitant to return to that story. The hero is dark, and strong. He was not an easy character to write, but he was one who has wanted his story told for several years now.
Back to the grind stone…
