First draft rewrites and the chaos it causes

2/10/2019

This weekend I dedicated a good number of hours to work on the novella I am writing. It's a story closely related to what happens in Forged in Fire, but I don't want to give any spoilers yet. So my lips are sealed. For the moment :)
​That said, I must admit that I love the rewriting process.

Once I have my first draft done, I print it out and attack the pages in my hands with renewed energy. 
It takes a while, but it's so different from staring at my laptop screen that I don't ever get tempted to open an internet page and ... procrastinate.

I always loved writing with a pen far more than typing on the keyboard.

So... I had a few pages done when I realized that I needed to find all relevant information I had scribbled in my notebook.
The only problem was - which notebook?

Over the years I used anything I had to write down my ideas and scenes that popped into my head.
Notebooks... Napkins... Sticky notes...
It was easy at first - to find what I needed. Now... not so much.

Now, it's a pile. And it will take me countless hours to sort through the mess and bring some order out of this chaos.

But on the bright side, I can finally finish my series Bible. It's something I have wanted to do for a long time now. I even started it on a few occasions.
I have character information, timelines, relationship trees, but everything scattered across different notebooks and pieces of paper. It's about time to gather it all in one place.
​
In other words, I'm neck deep in work. Happy Birthday to me!

​First of all, I am in the process of expanding my website.
The new pages will contain fun facts, behind the scenes material and even deleted scenes.

A few days ago I realized that while I have shared some information, it's all over the place. And not complete. 
I still have to gather everything and package it before I can press the POST button, but it's coming.

Second, I realized that for the longest time I kept myself hidden. I posted about promotions, my books and sometimes characters, but when it comes to me... I was absent.
Well, New Year, New Me! And no, this is not a New Year resolution! We all know how those end.
In other words - I need to stop running. But not literally.
I started running almost a year ago. Hated it at first. Had to stop every few minutes. Worse still, when I finally began seeing progress I discovered I fractured my shinbone. 
But now, I'm slowly getting into shape again. And loving it!

    I write books I would love to read with fantasy worlds I would like to be a part of. Where anything is possible, but nothing more magical than love.
