Outline, lazy wednesday

Today I spent my day outlining where I want my story to go. Doing this was great for me. I have been so focused on the beginning for the past few days that going ahead and planning out the future has given me great new ideas for what I want in the first part of the story/book/whatever this lifeform turns out to be. I spent a few hours doing this and I came to an interesting problem towards the end portion.

In my mind, there are two ways that I could go. I could go one way that lets me revisit things in the future with the characters/story, Or I could go another way where this story becomes more of a one-off. I think making it a one-off would be more satisfying but I don't want to lose the ability to play with my little toys(the characters) in the future. I'll have to think about this a bit more.

I'm going to spend the evening watching cooking shows and poker as I mull everything over.

I have a bunch of new ideas I also want to explore that I keep writing down, but I don't want to jump into them without finishing what I'm currently doing.

Gonna head to the cape for the next couple days and my goal is to finish out the first part(most of it at least) by the weekend and then I'll see where I am at.

In other news,

I want to see a crossover between "the fast and the furious" franchise and the "step up" franchise where the cars get into dance battles.

progress; green slushy; dog update

I know how the prologue is going to come out and its almost finished. I think I'd release this as a free preview on amazon and as a pdf on here as soon as I am happy with how it is laid out.

I am almost positive on how the first book is going to go. I don't want to cram too much in btu I also don't want it to seem to drag. We'll see what happens.

Green dunkies slushy today rather than the blue one. good decision

Dog update: still an asshole

ideas

I finally found a voice I liked for the main character in the story I am working on right now. I think I am going to finish up tweaks early this week and show some people what I have so far to get an opinion.

Also had some interesting ideas while I was on the throne of thrones. An idea about a ghost story. Mostly I want to write stories I want to read and other than Stephen King I haven't found any ghost stories that I find interesting so I decided to create one.

2350

Finished writing what I came up with. It started with a description of a night sky and ended up being 2,350 words of a short story or part 1 of a larger story. Gonna probably let it sit for a day then go over it sometime this weekend to see what it is I want to do with it.

In other news, I'm hungry. Can't decide if I should have coffee and Italian ice now and wait for breakfast, or if I should get something now and have breakfast. there is no better combination than coffee and lemon Italian ice, AM I RIGHT (insert eyeroll smileyface)

1100+; dumb dog

The description I started writing has turned into an 1100 word story that's still going. I know where its going to go but I am not sure if it's going to end there.

Also, my dog is an asshole. When she gets mad at me she shits under my computer desk. It's not that she needs to go out, in some cases she has already went out. I am convinced she keeps a little in reserve just to spite me. I should shave her face out of spite.

first idea; blue slushy

So yesterday, I was trying to figure out what I wanted to write. I had one idea full of irony and time travel. Another idea that was like a mix between harry potter and x-men. I had another about an anthology series of stories but I think they all seemed to big. So I decided to just write a description of a dark and stormy night and see where it went and I think it evolved into something that I like.

What to write about?

I need to start something. For years I've been sitting around aimlessly doing nothing with all these great ideas and dreams floating in my head. I've decided right now to do something about it. I'm going to try and write a book. I'm not sure if I'll finish it or when it will be done or what it will even be about, but I am going to start something and see what happens.

I don't know what I want to write about. I could write about people with superpowers, werewolves, crime or even my asshole of a dog. I think I am going to attempt to write a bunch of short stories and take it from there.
