A Title

"The Ages of August"

That's the likely title I decided on today for the whole series of books! Each individual book will have its own title.

I nearly had it before with something similar but finally decided on The Ages of August when needing a title for my Artworks section where I've begun adding artworks relating to the novels - here.

I'm well into the second chapter of my novel/book now and still loving writing it. It's starting to fall together nicely. I'm learning new writing skills as I go.

Because there will be a lot of time travel and events that happen in other dimensions or plains of existence I needed a way to keep a track of things, and have found that an Excel spreadsheet is great for that. I'm gradually piecing together a 'timeline' document that shows me the characters and locations and when/where/how major or important things take place over the whole series of nine books.

I never realised how engrossing and enjoyable writing a novel would be.

Novel

About a week or two ago I started writing my novel...

It really started when I was about 11 years old and had some ideas for what would make, I thought a great film. Then over the years, it evolved into a very complicated story of fantasy and science fiction.

But it was just bits and pieces of different ideas, places and characters and ended up being too complex and overwhelming to begin writing even though I tried a few times.

I believe I've actually gotten started now. I've discovered a little trick to help me get a loose plot outline for the first book and am absolutely loving writing it. I especially love how in parts it writes itself.

It's coming from a completely different angle but I'll be able to incorporate many of my previous ideas, places and characters into it. I imagine it will be nine books long...

The first Chapter of the first book is finished already, called 'In the Dark'.

To be continued!

It's all the same. If you want it to be. It can change. You are the dictator.
