I've really been doing my research in order to tighten up the manuscript of my second novel. The first thing I learned (and did) was to introduce the characters, the setting, and the conflict. Since I know the complete story already it was a easier to plug the information in according to the books on writing that I have read. You know the mighty foreshadowing of what's to come without telling how it's coming.
I streamlined everything and presented myself as the author. In other words I set the tone for the story and as a new voice I introduced myself with my various length of paragraphs, word selection, and variety in characters all within 53 pages. Not really a hero's journey, although Agape goes within and face off with her inner child and the archetypal energy of survival in order to graduate from this vibration of the without. I have to keep in mind that this is visionary fantasy so the rules are a little different and not everyone is going to dig it. Nonetheless without any excuse, YOU MUST TELL A STORY FIRST and I believe I have a good one that's original and filling; then I hit you with the metaphysical stuff. The first draft is a solid foundation for what's to come and I'm excited and looking forward to sharing my character driven story containing a strong plot with the world. -Thanks for Listening Sabrina-Louise Andielle
