Going off the primary plan of building their first year together gave me the opportunity to take the reader from the first moment the characters lay eyes on each other forward. A little more complicated isn’t it?Īfter assessing what I had to work with in B, I was thankful that I’d started Catherine and Jayden’s story far enough in to give me room to backtrack. The easiest route for my writing style has always been point A to point B, yet this project has me starting at B, backtracking to A which then needs to be bridged to B before I can move forward to C*. If there’s one thing I like to do, its challenge myself. Taking on the task of converting my fan fiction story into an original three book series has been daunting, but thrilling. I chalk it up to really putting my all into my creations. The same goes for when I quilt I haven’t made one yet that I’ve not drawn blood with a pin prick or even a sewing machine needle through my fingertip (eek!). Whether we mean to or not, when we write, a piece of ourselves ends up on those pages. To create a written work that can hold the interest, or better yet, transport readers to another time and place, takes time – and tears, sleepless nights, coffee overdoses, forgotten mealtimes in other words, a writer’s soul.
