Dreaming while writing
Not quite focused ... and that's okay.While I'm finally writing my beloved 1890's historical (as Kacy Barnett-Gramckow) I'm already dreaming of future projects. Is it too soon to allow my thoughts to stray toward future castles in the clouds? Hopefully not!This dreamstate is the most creative point in my writing process. All potential "What-if"s are still on the table, and everything, everything is possible. I'm not yet getting the full picture, nor am I seeing my characters in their personal realm. However, I am glimpsing their realm, and right now, it's lovely.
Yet even in this hazy sunlit dream, I'm studying that mist below. Those shadows ... the dark places within and perhaps beneath that castle. What secrets might dwell there? I'm eager to explore this new realm and find out, in due time.
Right now, I'm just enjoying this potential story in its unformed dreamstate. Even as I'm telling myself, "Enough! Get back to work. Write."
Blessings, Dear Everyone!
Yours,
R. J. and Kacy

I find myself thinking of ideas during the story I'm writing all the time! I can't wait to read your upcoming book!

I'm getting back into the intensive research mode for the 1890 book. It's funny that I have to spend so much more time on the storyline that takes place only 120 years ago vs. the biblical storylines. But it makes sense: the 19th century, of course, had many more gadgets and newfangled details than Biblical era stories. Have fun with your writing--it's why we write, right?

Absolutely, that is why we write! I love that your choosing 1890 as the era your story takes place, unlike the prophet series which seemed a lot earlier in time. I can't wait to see how the year effects the journey your character takes.
What I love about writing is that we're the same--whatever our mindsets--from age to age, human reactions will be the same, factoring in their starting points and upbringings. I'm enjoying reading books and articles from those years!
