Last night I wrapped up the second story for my second vampire collection after an evening of 900 handwritten words. Just over 1100 words in total for the day.
This second story took its own path and although I went in without a plan I still didn’t see it going the way it did. It’s a much more personal piece and looks at a character from the first book who didn’t get a lot page time as. They deal with the fallout of events in the last book. This does mean I’ve got to go back to book one and make a couple of very minor tweaks to this character, nothing major but some things to fit the character I have now into the previous book.
I’m going to type up these first two stories tomorrow while I think about what I want to write next for this collection. I know vaguely what I’m building to and what I’ve got in mind for some smaller character arcs but I’ve got no idea how I’m getting there.
It’s gonna be fun 🙂

Sometimes, that’s the best way to write. I like it when my characters surprise me.

I agree, Matt. I’ve drifted away from this form of writing too much over the last couple of years so it’s great to be getting back to it 🙂

Congratulations! There’s no feeling in the world like finishing a writing piece and being happy with what you’ve created 😀 I’m so envious of you that you’re able to handwrite first, then type later. I’ve dabbled with handwritten first drafts over the years, but I seem to just think better when I have a keyboard in my hands.

I’m a little torn with how I write best at the moment. I can write good stuff both at the keyboard and with a pen. So I’m kind of playing around at moment to see what works best for me 🙂
