There's no greater satisfaction, than seeing the end result from a finished product.
Right now I'm not talking about something relating the title from this entry, but the result of many years of work and wait. Almost 10, to be exact. And I'm bringing this thought, on behalf of holding in my hands the printing version of TIMELESS CONSEQUENCES, both, in english and spanish versions. It was a big personal satisfaction to me.
Having said that, is now the turn for the second act of my novel and that starts with the writing of its Scenes Guide.
As I mentioned in earlier entries, I started thing by the wrong side of the pen. Magically thinking that words would begin to flow, filling each and everyone of the pages of my novel.
How naive.
It was then when I made a decision of facing this challenge in a very different way. First I would write a guide, where would have a number, a title and a shot description for the content of each scene. Once finished, it would be the time to start writing the first page.
That's how I made the first chapter and, at least in my case, it worked great.
Once all the struggles, obstacles and limitations, on behalf of yours truly, were finally solved, in redaction, SafeCreative and Amazon registration, multiple corrections and subsequent uploads and revisions. I can call this first stage as finished.
So I begun to work on the second scenes guide, even though it had previous entries, due to the inexorable ravages of time and ideas becoming kind of obsolete, many upgrades had to be applied.
The first guide is conformed by 42 scenes. Which now are contained inside the first novel.
In this second guide, as in any second act play, things get complicated either in quantity, content and complexity, so the amount of scenes scaled to 54, although I can't promise to keep that number carved on solid stone, I'm satisfied by the number and content of them.
Before I begin to write, I'll take a time to research ways, places situations and historical facts, that would allow me to back, in the best possible way, the story thread.
And that will be the next weeks and months of my life. Satisfied by the job done and excited by the work ahead.
P.S. For those of you that believe that writing stories is easy ...... I couldn't finish this sentence with a sarcastic or mocking to satisfy my battered literary ego. Oh well, keep thinking the way you think until I can come up with something else.
