Book Writing Break Coming to a Close
First Drafts, My Projects, Writing Fiction August 7th, 2008
I haven’t updated here in a little while - I’ve been taking a break from my bigger writing projects for a few reasons:
1. I’ve been focusing on clients.
2. I’ve been focusing on the transition from full-time PR work to full-time writing.
3. I had a long break in there due to some Mother Nature-related damage which kind of threw my schedule off for a week.
Either this coming weekend or the following, I’ll be diving back in. I’ve decided to start drafting 3 Weeks (the most recent novel I outlined). I’m planning to handle this one a bit differently than I might otherwise. This is a first person book, broken down essentially into several shorter stories. This story revolves around a character I can get into the head of relatively easy.
So I’ve decided to start writing by recording. I’m going to be forcing myself into the character’s mind a bit, and then telling each of these short-form stories aloud into a voice recorder as though I’m actually “telling” it rather than simply writing it. I’m hoping that’s going to keep me a bit more natural. We’ll see.
Anyway, that’s the latest update on this front.
