Amazon to Cut E-Book Prices, Shaking Rivals (making Amazon a Monopoly)

[kentauros]

157. I think I'm going to have to do something like your example

for the second book, once I get to that point. I have a long synopsis written up, and will use that as a guide. I'll probably still need to snatch little things form the first book where I know I'm setting up things for later stories, just with no further explanations there.

And continuity as well as contradictions are my biggest fear of getting through. I'm doing much of my own editing, catching very little stuff as well as getting reminders of things I missed or forgot.

My next-biggest problem has been that while I have done as you mention, writing tens of thousands of words and then forgetting what I've written, my creativity also "jumps around" within the story, and I feel like I have to put it down or lose those particular thoughts forever. Thus, it's now a bunch of "parts" that I have to edit together. That isn't as hard or bad as it sounds, only the bit about deciding what to lose, what to keep, and where it all goes in the timeline

Oh, and I thought for sure my previous post in this subthread would have garnered the interest of the grammer/speeling naazies for the one misspelled word up there (I wrote it on my Kindle DX while out to eat )
