Purchases Arriving!

This feels like the first Christmas where I’ve been able to relax and start investing in some items... yeah books.  And some electronics, but mostly books.

Also, the Life Map Journal has arrived from Muchelleb in Australia!

Writing A Book Series

Previously I posted a video where Kate Cavanaugh talks about trying to write her current book based on the writing habits of J.K. Rowling.

I have been mesmerized by this video.  Whether Kate has noticed it or not, the concept of learning more deeply about how Joanne Rowling wrote not only A BOOK but SEVEN BOOKS, all interconnected with one another, with mystery plots for each one and one overarching plot for the series.

Some of you have seen the picture of how she used grids to keep everything straight - not only for the current book but the main plot of the series.

This had to be done METICULOUSLY in order for the continuity to continue through the series.  There are incidents and conversations in Books 1, 2 & 3 that needed to be in place for books 6 & 7.  The size of her grids must have been tremendous!

I’ve found another author channel on YouTube that goes more in depth with all of this.  But first, a few things regarding writing mystery:

And now more about what it takes to construct a book series:

Well worth watching.

Hitting It Big In Social Media

A Channel Worth Supporting

Cambriea gets paid from YouTube Ads, she doesn’t charge the families for helping them with their piles.  Now I need a Cambriea in Arizona.  LOL.

Update For Today

Yes, I stayed home from Church today.

What I got done today:

I slept in.  I needed it.

I have run 2 loads of dishes in the dishwasher

I have run several loads of laundry.

I cleaned the mirror and counter top in my master bathroom.

I changed one of the litter boxes and took out the trash.

I took down my calendar from a few years ago and replaced it (temporarily) with an advent calendar.  I’m wondering if the cats will destroy it, but I thought it was cute and made of fabric.

I still need to:

Run 1 more load of dishes

Run 1-2 loads of laundry

Take out 2 more bags of trash

Put 1 item (already chosen) into my donation bag for December 1st.
