Quantum Storytelling

My extra research for Cameron Fields coming to an end. I’ve begun making significant changes to the story. There are some serious problems lingering from the first draft. They will take some time to correct. I’m looking at a rewrite. I’m going to pull any useable sections and put them in the new draft. The rest will be discarded.

The story will be better for it. I feel good about making the changes.

Because the three novels involve different characters that are connected, I’ve also been making notes as I change and add details for the subsequent stories. What I change in the first story inevitably affects elements of the second and third story.

This sometimes makes the process more complicated than I’d like it to be, but I decided from the beginning that I do not want a ‘one-off.’ I am investing in a world that I will be able to use over and over throughout many stories, featuring as many characters as I want. Connectedness and consistency are important.

The next couple months of writing should be interesting. Everyone keeps asking me “When do I get to read it?”

When it’s done.

A great novel is late once. A poor novel stays poor forever.
