Come! Join my journey. |
Hi everybody. It's a beautiful day here in central Virginia and I am sitting at my computer trying to find my way around this website. I joined over a year ago, but life got in the way and my paid subscription ran out. However, re-upped my membership and now I am more committed than ever to get my book written and published. I decided it was time. I'm not getting any younger. So, if anyone is interested in my progress stay tuned here. I plan to work on this book every day and then post here on my blog the progress I make and the interesting encounters I make along the way. After all you never know who or what my characters are going to run into. |
Hello again, It has been a few days and I am sorry I haven't kept you up to date. I have been working on my novel though. I found a website called the Novel Factory and it is helping me get my thoughts in order. So what time I have had to spend at the computer, that is where I have been. I have worked on the premise of my story and have my "elevator pitch" done. the next step is to outline the plot so I can write the synopsis. The creator of the website said that is the best way to keep on track and not go running in the woods. If anyone here has any feedback on the Novel Factory or on creating a plot outline please let me know. I have this book in me, in the deepest part of me and I am trying to find the best way to get it out. I guess I am trying to say that I need all the help I can get. GG Lynn |
Hi Everyone, I must say this week had thrown so much stuff in my way that I have gotten absolutely nothing done that I wanted to get done to my writing. I did do some research for my antagonist but I had hoped to be farther along than I am. Sometimes my brain skips around so much that I can't seem to get anything done. If anyone has any suggestions to remedy that please let me know. I could use all the help I can get. See you soon. GG Lynn |
Sunday I talked about starting to finally follow my dream of becoming a writer. I promised to keep you posted on my progress by posting here on my blog every day. I didn't get to post anything yesterday because as I said, life keeps getting in the way. However, I didn't let that stop me from working on the characters for my story and I found that the antagonist is harder to get a handle on than the hero of the story. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean I know what the hero wants. He wants to prove his mother is not crazy, and prove to himself that he is not crazy as well, and in doing so save the planet. But the bad guy. I know what he wants. He wants to destroy the world for the greed of power. He craves power like a drugy needs a fix. It's the motivation that is harder to nail down. I think once I have that nailed down I will be well on my way to getting my outline done. Wish me luck today as I work on that. Talk to you tomorrow. GG Lynn |
