This isn't a si...So far, you're on a roll.<br /><br />This isn't a single book, so you can't really start scribbling away - that leads to disaster. A series has to be very carefully planned in order to avoid problems with continuity and or loss of momentum.<br /><br />You've got the cast, you've got the general plot, you've even got the music - now you need a meticulous outline. Detailed biographies of the main cast (which you basically keep to yourself) will get the creative juices flowing.<br /><br />I'm here for your. Just relax, breathe, and take your time. Once you knock out the first book, the rest will follow much more easily.Alliyah Gallowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11043902720307040762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8516479154752473667.post-67171765014303069812012-01-11T02:49:41.454-05:002012-01-11T02:49:41.454-05:00Amaya,

You have the plot.
If it...Hon, you have the cast. You have the plot.<br /><br />If it helps, just start writing chapters out of order, starting with whichever scene pops out to you the most.Alliyah Gallowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11043902720307040762noreply@blogger.com
