I started a Fantasy Novel writing course - I’ve been working on the first book in what I thought would be a light-hearted fantasy series - well, now I have been developing the world in-depth. I’m not sure I’ll get to the epic fantasy state, but I feel so much better about my process. 

I think that is part of trick with many things, is figuring out your process. I tried pantster - I tried Plotter - I tried Planster - and what I have figured out now is I’m a world builder, and now I have some tools to help me do that. After I build the world, I just have to plop the characters into the world that I now have envisioned. I’m looking forward to finishing the world build - but I’m losing a lot of sleep doing it.

Podcast - All About Agatha - a podcast all about the writings of Agatha Christie, check them out on Facebook  There quest is to review all of Christie’s 60+ novels and her short stories as well. Next up is A Murder is Announced, and I’m thinking of giving this Miss Marple story a read before I listen to their next episode.

Social Media Tip - Threads

Nanowrimo is about to start, and I’m going to give it ago one more time - though this time, I’m not sure I will have the story ready in time. We’ll see, but I’m going to commit to working on getting words either on the page or in my world-building site. 

I'm appear at the North West Georgia Writers Conference this weekend and I've been accepted as an Attending Pro at Dragon Con 2020. 

I'll be back Wednesday morning with more at Geek Meets Social.
