Not Dead - Just Absorbed
6 years ago
Into my writing that is, nothing fetish related.
Three books finished, one in process of KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing - Amazon thing), just working on getting the cover made and legalities figured out.
Instead of starting up Book 4 though, like, you know, the plan was, I went and started up something else. Sort of. Same storyline, just jumped ahead and took a detour. *Sigh*
After editing the third book for the second time to make sure it was all good and facts were aligned correctly, I started going through my notes again to get caught up on old ideas that I wanted to implement in upcoming works. Well, I found one, that I thought would be too much for one book to be in while combined with the sibling's side as well, so it was just meant to be a 'side clip' type deal, or at least that was the original plan.
Yeah...my plans never go according to plan.
Turns out it changed from a 'side clip' to an in-between story taking place, I'm thinking, after Book 4 but before Book 5. I haven't quite figured out my timeline yet since I haven't actually started Book 4 yet. I have a vague line/bare bones drawn out for it, but nothing concrete as of yet, and things have already changed for it a couple of times.
So my in-between 'short story', which is already 129 pages in, has me currently sidetracked, but when it's complete I'll be getting 4 up and going.
I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I can't do 'short' anymore, they always grow into something bigger. Even my so-called shorts on here, they may be short in and of themselves, but they're technically part of a series I never finished. Still have the other characters written up and stashed away. Hmm...
