Organizing a novel
This morning I thought I’d mention organizing to write a novel.
I start every new project by setting up a folder in My Documents for the project.
With Tinker 2, I’ve labeled the folder, oddly enough, TINKER 2.
From my desktop I’ve
made a shortcut into the folder.
Into this folder I make two folders.
One is NOTES, where I have things like the
synopsis that I sold the novel with (which I did have stored in the Tinker (1) folder) and
the bible I’m building which has all the characters from the first book and descriptions of
them.
I also needed to work out a rough timeline so I know when this novel starts.
In
Tinker, the story starts shortly before Midsummer’s Night Eve, and then runs for roughly
two months after that date, so it’s now the end of August.
August tends to be muggy hot
during the day and cool in the evenings.
The days are still long, and the summer stars are
in the sky.
The trees will be starting to turn if the novel runs more than a month in time
