Swords
News July 10th, 2006The busy week is over and the week of writing has begun! Later this evening, in addition to writing, I’ll be organizing notes for the next part of the book in a program called WhizFolders. I might even try a different (aka “full screen”) approach to word processing by using a simple program called Dark Room. Either way, expect a small update to the progress bar starting tomorrow.
In other news, my friends Brandon and Emily got married on Friday. Friends of the groom got swords! There I am in red on the far left of both of these pictures. Brandon named his swords after books he has written. Mine is called Mistborn, which, by the way, we saw copies of over the weekend. It’s a great book and looks beautiful, (in part because of the maps and interior artwork).

[…] Spent the evening organizing notes for Part Two of Nethermore. Whizfolders, the program I mentioned a few days ago, is a superb tool for outlining a novel. It’s also great for organizing the random notes and things that come along with writing. In the future I can see using at least two of these files for each novel. One would be for the book’s “bible,” which would include notes on the characters (descriptions, motivations, etc), notes on the countries, magic systems, languages, and whatever else I need as far as reference. The second file would hold the outline and storyline brainstorming. […]
