So New Brain, like I said, likes to write in the morning and then over the course of the day the urge to bang away at my computer slowly wanes until, by around 9:30pm or 10pm, my motivations is... well. Not ENTIRELY gone, but definitely much less. At that point New Brain seems to want a break and would rather watch TV/movies, though now that I've figured out how to split my computer screen I can do that AND work on writing (or watch DVDs on Bunny and work on writing, either way), so I tinker with writing at night while I watch shows anyway, I'm just not as productive, and that's fine with me considering how much I'm getting done earlier in the day.
Anyway, so yesterday afternoon I pulled up The Order Of Delphi and started just writing jot notes on it. Which. If you know me, you know I don't normally DO jot notes. I used to HATE having to do them as part of school assignments. I never bothered with them. But then I was trying to figure out some stuff for My Zombie a little while ago and jot notes turned out to be the best way to do it. I ended up writing like 9 pages of them for MZ (and still going.) I am not so anti-jot notes anymore.
Right, so I opened up The Order Of Delphi and started typing, adjusting things as I went, adding things in where I had overlooked them, taking some stuff out on second thought, and ended up with basically the entire storyline worked out in about six pages of notes. I'm pleased with this! It will make actually WRITING it MUCH easier! I mean I probably need to edit some things, but still. PROGRESS.
So after that, while working on my Supernatural re-watch (I just started Season Five), I opened up Riptide and started doing the same thing. Right now I'm only about two pages into my Riptide notes, but it's a start! And when I'm done that, I'm going to do the same for Anatomy Of A Wendigo Attack and Diary Of A Black-Eyed Child, and probably a bunch more. The Spirit Fighters. Throwback. MOA. Tasmanian Tigers, etc. I've literally come to the conclusion that jot notes are THE SHIT.
I asked Poe in this morning's email if they would be interested in reading over the notes for The Order Of Delphi and Riptide, because I want someone other than me to look them over and tell me what I'm logically missing. Ask questions. Because all the information is in my BRAIN, there's just probably stuff I forgot to put in the notes themselves. I might ask Mom to look them over, too.
This is all while still working on TKA at the same time (I should really do TKA notes, too, actually), of course, but it just makes me feel better to have the jot notes down so I won't forget anything important between now and writing the books. :|
