Update 1.4

Book 1: Second draft is coming along very well :)

I'm on leave now until after Easter week (including weekends), so I aim to get a good bit of writing done when I'm off work. I'm currently writing the second draft in one of the journals that I got and they are a joy to write in.

I've re-written the outlines for Books 2 and 3 and am a lot happier with them now.

Have also re-written character bios, extended them a bit and have made annotations of where and when in the outlines of Books 2 and 3, I want certain aspects of their character revealed.

Written the last section of Book 3.

I'm still very much enjoying writing the book and am very excited about the whole process.

Thank you xx

A thank you to all who helped me out with my research request. The time has come to stop with the research and start on the second draft using one of those lovely leather journals that I received.

Update 1.3

Have started to write more about the descriptions of my characters and why they are as they are. My character's motivation will only be touched upon in book 1. I aim to follow the outline for the books, but I don't want to say too much at the moment. Can't go spoiling all the fun.

Safe to say, that I am having fun writing out the descriptions of my characters. At the moment it is just in note form, to make sure that I don't forget anything. Then later, I will flush it out a bit more.

Can you help me with research?

Do you suffer from a sleep disorder? Insomnia, night terrors, nightmares or sleep paralysis? Or maybe something I haven't mentioned. Can you help me out with research for my novel?

All information provided will be confidential. You can start by telling me your experiences and how it effects you in your daily life. Then we can take it from there.

Please DO NOT be concerned about writing lots of information. The more information I get, the better for my research.

Please email me, my email address is on the right hand panel under "Contact Me".

Please do not reply in the comments, this is to ensure that all my research info is in one place and will help maintain confidentiality.

Thank you in advance :)

Update 1.2

Have also started to write down notes on what I want to add/change in the first draft.  I don't want to forget when I arrive at starting to do the second draft.

Currently got two different notebooks on the go now. It's all good though.

Update 1.1

I will be sharing updates with you, this being 1.1 (the first update for first book, second one for this first book will be 1.2 and so on, you get the idea).

I have started to print research notes for my first book, and making notes from them. I've also ordered some books that will help me in my research.

I don't aim to spend forever doing this, I give myself a limit of 14 days max' from when the books arrive. Internet research is just a wee head start to get my head into "research mode".

It is fun though and yes I do enjoy doing research.

I dunno if anyone will read these updates or not, but regardless they will help me to focus.
