So I’m staring at these empty pages in the first notebook. Though I guess you can’t call it first since I have at least 10 others that range from 2 years old to high school days. This is the first of the updated, everything in Windemere notebooks. Of course this means I need to get another one for the next grouping of stories. All of this creates questions:
Do I work on the Grand Finale?
No idea if I ever brought this up in detail, but I’ve mentioned that the last book I ever write will be the Grand Finale of Windemere. This tends to get people thinking I’m going to disappear in a year or two. Keep in mind that I need to finish the other THIRTY SERIES/ONE-SHOTS first. Yet, I do need to keep track of certain things to have this war between the remaining heroes and villains. Structure is a question as well as who I take to the end. How do I even organize such a thing? It’s going to be put into the back of this notebook, so I’m thinking adding characters to the list as I bring other series to an end. I only have a faint idea of how to do this. Each chapter revolves around a hero or villain, which helps focus the story.
Which grouping do I tackle next?
There are 2 big series and groupings that I can think of taking on. One is the ‘Project Phoenix’ stuff, which has a few issues. It’s a lengthy series where nearly every book focuses on a new hero that has been awakened. Only the first and final 2 books will be all hands on deck. The big issue is that I keep finding other stories on my list that can fall under this umbrella. Leaves me wondering if clearing more off the list would be smarter and that makes it easier to decide on what goes here.
The other series is 9 books that follow a young thief who always finds himself in these epic adventures. Each one will be 4 acts with new and old heroes, multiple villains, and a lot of globe spanning. I haven’t touched this series in a long time. Oddly enough, the outline I made for the first book in college still holds up enough that I need only do a few tweaks. The other 8 will be a challenge since I have various versions of some and absolutely nothing about the others. Another headache with this series will be that I’d have to stop at certain points to work on another. This is to avoid spoilers since the main character travels to areas that are awakened or founded in other stories. Not to mention interacting with other heroes. Right now I’m leaning toward this one, but I’m finding my mind keeps wandering.
Third Question
I had something, but I don’t remember. All I know is that I’m gearing up for tackling the next book in Legends of Windemere. I might start it on Monday, but I really just want to get it done by the end of March or early April. If I can get 2 books written before summer break then I’m golden.
