I started revising, and doing my outline, with renewed enthusiasm last night.
Yes, it is late to start an outline, but I love Stephen King’s advice, just write. So, I let the story take me where it may and then I go back and outline, and edit, and edit, and edit.
Since this is envisioned as a five book series, I need to plunge in the water now and outline the other four books. It is the only way I can make sure this, the first book, ends in the way it should.
I’m just happy this is feeling like fun again and not drudge work. I love the discovery process. Told you, long ago, that I’m a day dreamer and I love making up stories. So, I’m off to it.
Good day writing to you all.
“It’s the journey and not the destination.” Anthony Bourdain and probably a few people before him, said. I love the journey of writing books and painting pictures. The destination is the icing on the cake. And, that is not bad, either!

Wow, you're going to outline five books at once?
I hate outlining, but if I don't do it, I write myself into a big rambling mess. But sounds like for you it's fun!
Dive in and have a blast!
I did not find outlining fun until I had a good part of my story established/written.
Now, it's become kind of fun.
Go Figure!!!
