Last week, I started writing a new novel in a new series. This story has been brewing in my mind for the longest time--it's the reason I chose to write it next, after I completed my technothriller series The Shadowkill Trilogy.
This new story is a superhero story.
I've written a few posts where my story ideas look like Morse Code.
Let me briefly explain again: the dots are where this happens and then this happens and so on. The dashes are scenes where this thing happens. Together, I write to fill in the spaces.
This new story has been brewing for a long time--and I really mean, a long time. I'd walk to and from work (the day job), and I'd envision what this superhero would do.
I won't explain the story nor the powers this superhero has (I briefly told the story to my youngest daughter, who watches a lot of superhero shows on Netflix, and she thought it was very cool!) but I will say that once I sat down to write it . . . the story took on a life of its own. Some of the troubling areas of the story has worked itself out as I write it.
If you're having troubles starting or even continuing a story that you're working on, go back a few hundred words, read, and then write. Keep the words flowing.
Publication update:
I am currently working on the covers for the final two books in The Shadowkill Trilogy, my nonfiction book centered around traveling with diabetes, and a superhero novelette. Once these four are completed, I will share links, etc.
I am also working on putting a box set together for The Shadowkill Trilogy too. Good times!
