Nothing exciting here. We won't be going to Houston this weekend after all. We thought we would avoid the hurricane for one and for another we'll be seeing Hunter this weekend (Yes, I miss my puppy dog

lol! i'm making real progress on my book in leaps and bounds and starting to think that i should be scoping out publishing places now.
still, i'm goign to have to print out what i have now (over 50 pages) so i can do some real editiing without feeling all wonky doing it on the screen...( i just kinda glaze over and stuff when i try)
i have no idea how big this book is going ot be. the way the story is righ tnow, it feels like it can't possibly be more than 100 pages long. but hey, maybe i'll surprise myself :-P maybe i should add the pictures i've been sketching for the characters and varous other things :-P
how's yours going? I know you've been going on and off on writing yourself (truly, i do most of my writing at work when i shouldn't be and then just transcribing it when i get home...so i know how that is. sometimes i feel i want to write and i got nothing. then i'l be at work and something will hit me really hard! and iv'e actually written more than 50 pages worht of stuff, but a good portion of it has to do with the SECOND book and the THIRD book and some history of the world itself! ACK! Talk about sidetracks! Lol)
I have written the first book in the series; I was ready to send it out and then I read a couple of authors who had inconsistencies in their series, so I'm holding off a bit on that. I'm thinking of publishing some short stories from that world in a book with my friend's company. He is producing mostly films and short films, but has a deal with a POD place that puts the books on amazon. However, there is no editor as of yet.
The rest of the series is not finished. I have written through a second draft on book 2, about 30% of book three, and about 1/4 of book 5. I have the basic idea for book 4, and I have basic ideas for two prequels and even less so of a third extremely earlier far past prequel. So I have a total of 5 in the series with Seren, a prequel with the man who is her king, a prequel about the greatest hero of the country prior to my heroine, and a prequel about the elder races and their decline.
As to side tracks, write what pops into your head because if you force something, you'll just end up re-writing it or worse throwing it away.
yeah, the whole REASON i'm writing out this story was because ORIGINALLY i was going to make it into an online webcomic but i wanted to make sure that there were no inconsistancies and i wanted to make sure i knew where i was going before i got there. :-P seeing as i've changed the LAYOUT of the whole beginning since i'd originally written it, i think it was a SMART idea.
lol
yeah, those sidetracks? I definitly write them out. there have been occassions that i LOST those sidetracks i wrote on scraps of paper at work and panicked becuase HOW would i write it out so well again!!!??
