Hey everyone,
Wow, I haven’t done an update in a while. I’ll be real. It’s because I haven’t been writing. I’ve been incorporating a workout routine once again into my life and the first couple weeks kinda zapped all the energy out of me. But, I’m getting back into the swing of things and am working on the outline (sort of) for book 3! I think I FINALLY nailed down an idea for this book and I’m just trying to get the specifics laid out to make writing a little easier.
I’m a plantser. I have a rough outline to give me a direction but I’m not opposed to veering off the trail in case something doesn’t work out quite right when actually writing. I’ll also plan bits at a time so I can write, see what works and where the details fall into place, and then go back and tweak accordingly. It’s a lot of work but, hey, I’ve completed 2 books so far this way so it must be a good method for me.
I did get a little distracted this morning. I had the window open in my office and I heard something moving outside. I look to see 3 deer running around. So, I snatched my phone and took a little video of it. My backyard backs up against the park so we get all kinds of critters. I see wild turkeys all the time. We had raccoons eating our shingles back in spring. Sometimes at night I’ll hear coyotes howling. And, deer stroll through like they own the place, ha.
So, I’m pretty confident about this outline. Hoping to get a decent dent made today and the rest of the week. I do have to work tomorrow so writing time will be cut short but I always keep a notebook on hand in case I have an idea. Same with Friday. Husband and I are going on a little part day trip when he’s done with work. If I can have it completed by the end of the month, that would be great. Then I need to get back to my edits of the first 2 just so they’re ready to go when I am able to hire an editor.
More content is coming out! I have some fun things planned for my Patreon page. I’ve been making videos like crazy. I am probably going to spend one day next week and just do massive amounts of filming then I can just edit and schedule. I’ve been trying to Tweet and keep up with Instagram and Facebook on the regular. It’s been busy but a lot of fun.
Anyway, I better get back to work. Hope you have a great week. Check out the links above for my social media and Patreon if you’re interested. I’m trying to get to 100 subscribers by month’s end on my YouTube channel.
