Introducing...Book #32, From Start To Finish
As promised, here we are with the first in a series of Craft posts. Normally, I keep these notes in a Book Journal that lives inside my Scrivener document, but for fun, I thought I’d share this process with you, live and unfiltered, as I write my latest standalone novel. I anticipate this to be a months-long project, exclusively for you lovely folks who’ve subscribed in order to see how the sausage is made. Since creativity doesn’t keep office hours, I’m not going to kid any of you into thinking this will be a perfectly linear series, nor a timely one. Too much pressure on us both, I think.
But as I’m cooking along with the book, without giving away actual details of the work, I will update you where I stand in the process, just as I update myself. For some reason, keeping track of where I am, what my word count is, what huge shifts I’ve made in the story, soothes me. So that’s what you’ll be seeing. There is a mountain to climb, and it’s going to be a challenge.
