Ok, so let's talk about this thing called planning.
Nonexistent.
Seriously, pretty much all my writing works have zero planning and are made up along the way. And I know that that's kind of how writing works, but I've seen people have whole posters filled with Post-It notes planning the plot and spend monthsbefore they start the first draft.
Not me.
Well, at least for right this second.
For those of you who don't know, ITW is basically the 4th draft that I'm posting on Penana right now. But with Maddox, my Beta Reader's help, I'll probably update the posted chapters of ITW after this is all posted. Don't worry, it won't change too much. Mostly grammatical errors and just things to help the story look better.
But what some of you don'tknow, is that the first draft for the second book is already written. That's right, the second book. And with that, I have started the planning process for the third book.
Yep, I'm planning this one, baby.
Basically, it's like a plot outline that I'm working on so I know which main plot point happens and everything else.
So yeah, planning. It's a new experience for me. I've never felt so organized.
But wait, there's more!
I already have the main idea for how the fourth and fifth books are gonna go, along with the ending. And let me tell ya, folks, it's gonna be great. Well, I mean, for me it'll be great, cause I'll finally be done with this mess, but for you, maybe not. I don't know. Depends on how well you like the ending.
And...just a fair warning, there will be death. Lots of death. I mean, you've already experienced a little bit of my creative power killing people through the deaths of most of the characters' parents. But there will be more. Gut-wrenching, tear-jerking, book-throwing death! You will want to kidnap the characters and give them ice cream so bad, that you'll go insane! I mean, seriously, there are a lot of good and bad people dying. Just...everyone who isn't one of the main characters can and probably will die. Well, okay, the main characters can die, too, but I just choose when they will or won't.
I know, I'm seriously not okay. But I wanted to at least warn you of the amount of death before you experience it for yourself.
Despite all this death, it will also be extremely hilarious, and a couple of times reading it again I will laugh out loud. And...romance. It isn't too much, and no explicit scenes, (remember this is still PG-13) but you might be able to already see some of the bonds growing.
Speaking of that, tell me your potential ships in the comments below!
But anyways, have a good day and remember to love each other always!
