I mentioned last time that adding mystery to my writing is a new challenge. Among the differences is studying Baldacci more closely. I have two of his hard copy books that I am marking up and sticking all colors of sticky notes in them. In addition, I have stopped my regular “pantsing” (by the seat of my pants) writing and am trying outlining again. This time, however, I am doing it pictorially. I do better with pictures in almost everything. Right now, my “outline” is about three feet long and will get a little longer as I progress. The attached photo doesn’t do it justice. It changes every few days and gets longer.
I am also putting Wizzy to work.
I am increasing my Midjourney skills for animated AI work, but for now, I am contracting with a person to help. This will be for better marketing and social media appearance. As an example, Wizzy has been animated a little to give you a short message Here.
Right now, the weather here has warmed up to almost 32 degrees F! I’m getting stir-crazy.
Let me know what you think of Wizzy and how you would like to hear from him (and other characters also). For me, it is all part of the slow progress.
