PREPPING TO WRITE IRVING 3 TODAY
Posted on March 25, 2018
Tomorrow, I begin work on The Tomb of Tomes, Book 3 of the Irving Wishbutton saga. The series is the one I get the most requests to return to and so I'm doing just that. I've reread the first two, making some slight tweaks to both as my writing has improved vastly since they were first written. Before crafting an outline for the third book, I created the lists below to aid me in navigating the large cast and the many settings established so far. I think the ambitious nature of this series is what kept me from starting the third book, but that's behind me now. I've got a clear vision of where I'm going. Take a look at the lists and share your top three characters you think pique your interest.
I'll be posting about my progress on this third book quite regularly over the next three weeks. My goal is to write 60,000 words in 16 days of track out.
