A bit about my Writing process

Before I go on to the next set of chapters, I'm going to talk a bit about how I go about writing something.

I start with a core. By that, I mean I start with an image in my head- often the climactic scene, or something right before it. I know, more or less, how the characters got to that point, and what is currently happening, but that's about it. details are fuzzy.

Then I do a one sentence summary I go through the entire story and plot out each chapter in about a sentence. For example, the sentence summary for the Prologue of A Captive Light was "Ken plots to use POF [power of friendship] against the DD and kidnap someone". Then, I write out a longer summary- a paragraph or two, depending on the chapter. Once that is done, I go through and write the whole chapter, look it over twice and post it.

You'll see more about the Core of A Captive Light when I get to the later chapters.

I also listen to music- a lot. Sadly, I no longer have access to the computer I was using while writing A Captive Light, so the song list I used is gone. still, I do remember most of the "soundtrack" and will post a list later. When we get up to date with A Fading Hope, you can expect to see the full lyrics and if possible a recording/ video of the song used in that chapter, but since A Captive Light didn't have song fragments at the start of each chapter, I won't be doing that.
