Writing

Well, I wanted to write something today. I guess the morning is still relatively young. I just have nothing and I'm super fatigued. I've been up since 7 a.m., which is rather big for me (in case you haven't been keeping up with "Chronic Daily"), and considering I didn't sleep that great last night either. But man have I been feeling on a roll! This storyboarding via powerpoint has been so great! I truly cannot believe I've survived this long without it!

Sorry but that's all for now, people. Maybe I'll right back later?
Peace!

Storyboarding via Powerpoing

Stuck in a rut and don't know why? I was having this problem not a few hours earlier regarding one specific chapter. I got into an even worse pitfall questioning if my choice of cover was the right one, and how far I should go in reference to a change in title.... I took a step back and went to the Microsoft Store for some storyboarding help as I saw in "Jane the Virgin". If you don't know the show, I won't bore you with details aside from the fact the main character being Jane is a writer not unlike myself (though she's into romances. Still though.). She used note cards around her wall to determine how her novel was going and where to add plot twists, etc. I'm not anywhere near that level of planning with this book, but I decided via some inspiration to do my own type of storyboarding.

I came back empty handed. There was nothing I could find that I felt would truly fit my needs. Either apps were broken, spendy (I wanted totally free!), or something else just wasn't quite right with it. So I thought about powerpoint. GoogleDrive has powerpoint, I remembered (after a long, fruitless search for ppt. apps). And so I have spent several long minutes (almost an hour!) using a template and storyboarding my idea as a powerpoint. And omigod has it seriously helped!

To give you my own personal example, you can find the original work in the "Helpful Hints" section with the same name as this post to make the search simple. I did block out anything I was afraid would be a spoiler, sorry if there was something I didn't cross off you wish you didn't know. I wasn't too picky considering the book has been long in the making and still has a long time to go still.

Anyways, that's it for tonight. I think I'll come back tomorrow and post something else new. I'm feeling rather inspired [finally] 💖🖉💻

Happy (2nd) Blogiversary!!!

I honestly can't believe I have been keeping up with this blog. As painful and as difficult as it has been at times, it has also been an incredible source of my pride and joy. I'm honestly surprised it's been two years since I started recording my crazy insane journey with writing, and how it's evolved even since I began "The Secret Writer". It's truly been...something. Wild, painful, fun, enlightening, humbling...I could go on. But instead I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been reading along and following me on this journey.

Thank you all!
