Had a very productive day on Saturday with my ghostwriting partner and now have plenty more material to work with as I keep writing. We found some deep themes and threads to hang the story on as well as delving into some of the less wonderful parts of her life. I also got to see a lot of photographs that really helped with knowing the setting of some of the events.
So this week will be all about getting all that onto the page and making a few tweaks to the chapters I've already written. I feel like this is going to be a book that's written in chunks and pieced together somehow at the end. Whenever we speak, things don't seem to come out in a linear way….
Other than that, I have to focus some attention on An Unstill Life because it comes out in 11 days! Ack! That's scary!
What are your goals this week?
Still sounds like a fascinating project to me. In my earlier years I would've loved to do something like this.
ReplyDeleteHooray for having a productive weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised that things aren't coming out in a linear way, but that could just be because I've never been a linear writer. :)
I've known people who write like that. Somehow it still comes together in the end.
ReplyDelete11 days! How exciting!
