I can write one at Prot City Java and another at Connection Cafe and ... <BR/>I'll have to find a third coffee shop.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday I received the initial overview of the new game universe. I think I can say it's a role playing game set in a pretty intriguing dystopia, but beyond that I'm bound by my non-disclosure agreement. I'll be getting access to the game developer's complete notes, the play testers observations, and the evolving concept as soon as their IT guy sets things up so I can log in to their server. <BR/><BR/>My job will be developing characters and stories which will showcase the needs/abilities/etc., of some of the various character creation archetypes. Fluff. Ask someone who plays RPGs what I'm talking about. Last night I read over the material so ideas could be percolating in the back of my mind.<BR/><BR/>I felt pretty sure none of the eldritch creatures of the game would work their way into Coastal, Carolina. And I was right, as far as that goes. <BR/>But an unforeseen effect was that today's writing in my mystery novel read like the overview I'd read last night. It was a chunk of needed backstory -- information that needs to be in the story because it provides an insight into motivation -- but I summarized it. <BR/>Today I produced 2400 words of good reference material -- NOT part of the novel ms.KeVin K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14792797517571690942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143694367787566951.post-22730054945822801082008-01-12T21:52:00.000+00:002008-01-12T21:52:00.000+00:00Yes, you can do it.

I'm a one-at-a-time person too, but I've heard others manage different books/projects by e.g. working on one in the mornings and one in the afternoons - or, in one case I read about, using two different desks, one for each book/series they were working on. Maybe even something small, like using one mug for drinks when you're working on one project and a different one when you're working on another, could help.Zinnia Cyclamenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04841314997513292477noreply@blogger.com
