I've been trying to start having One More Go at doing some Book Writing Stuff... Namely, this time, trying to INDEX the Chapters & Content of Rachel's Story, Rumour In The Truth.
I'm doing this on MyStory.today - which is GREAT at doing the basics of doing Just That, which is what I need right now. Too many are geared - probably as they should be - for writing the Book directly onto its Application... but since I'm better off using Word/Pages/Google Docs type of programs instead, I have no real use for them...
The MyStory one, though, is like Goldilocks - Just Right.
The Point of this, though... is to clarify in my mind what happened when, where, why, and INDEX them in ways that will help. In theory. It indexes with tags that can be used for who was in what scene, where they were, and whatever else is important be noted and found, just at a glance. You create the tags you want, choose the tag(s) to go back to, or list, for whatever you need. Easy.
And Easy Is Good.
From doing this, I can see Pacing. Missed Points. Where to add things I've made extra notes on (like, Rachel had actually has forgotten to mention anything about her past anywhere, which is daft of her, because it's quite integral to my telling her story -- daft girl!... And I had to figure out where to put them), there's an option to create task lists -- like "Need To Add Rachel's Background here" and a little tick box section appears for them all, completely unobtrusive but there - adorable.
Also it's looking at where to put added "Missing" Scenes I've been writing on my Craft app, because it's easier to write them out on there, somehow.
I So Sincerely Wish things were better, different, to what they are, right now - because I miss my "imaginary friends" and I like hanging out with them and listening to their stories. Watching their lives with fascinated interest, to see where they go and what happens next.
Otherwise, everything has pretty much grounded to a halt. Because of Severe Chronic Illnesses, I am capable of pretty much NOTHING. No Executive Functions.... If fact, No Functions, whatsoever... No Imagination. No Energy. No Drive.
Nothing But Exhaustion, illness, pain & FND Functional Seizures/BlackOuts.
There's Been No Writing Whatsoever.
Vengeance of Mages Website has been stalled... Which just about kills me, because I really like putting everything about my World Of Five Realms and Faeh'rron.
Can't even really start Book 3 of the Series... The Vengeance of Mages: Call of the Dragon Queen. It's mostly in my head... And will remain Trapped In There, until I can Write It...
It's damned Heartbreaking, is what it is.
