I’m actually working on my novel!

August 15, 2010 by Keri Leave a Comment

I’ve been saying since I had Gabe that I would start to seriously work on my novel once he turned two. Then that became after E3. Then I had to make myself actually work. I’ve been setting aside Sundays for novel work, and so far, it’s worked out splendidly. I gathered all of my notes that vie been jotting down for the last five years (not lying about the time frame) and worked out an idea of what I wanted and where I wanted my story to go. I’ve never liked how I had the plot go; I’ve always felt like I was reaching too much to connect the plot. Thanks to my wolf pack tattoo I got in Galveston (not lying about that either), it suddenly dawned on me how the plot should flow. I wrote out the background history a few weeks ago, and I just finished writing my plot summary and character outlines.

Next up is the plot outline, I know the plot summary, but I have no idea 1) what the best the way to start it is and 2) how I even want to start.

I still have such a long way to go, but it’s finally coming together in a way I’m happy with. I’m actually getting excited about writing it.

Now I just mean more hours in the day….

About the CrunchyChocobo

Keri has a weird gaming backstory that is better left unsaid. She has been part of the games writing industry since 2004 and has grown to love all RPGs, shooters, visual novels, and your general open-world adventure. When she’s not gaming or stabbing writers with her red pen (a favorite pastime), she’s teaching yoga, reading the latest WH40K novel, or trying to make sure one of her kids doesn’t set the house on fire. She used to write for various video game websites. Now she writes for herself and yells about comics on a podcast.
