Finding My Process

I am finding the writing process is much smoother as I am well into the second book. I find I have a much better grasp of grammatical structure. I am also having a much better time balancing the plot and the character development. When I first began The Midnight Hour I was shocked at different that first draft was to the story that was in my head. I had always thought of stories and characters but rarely put them to paper. My first draft of Midnight Hour was a measly 90 pages. I had a hard time returning to it for several months. If it wasn't for my wife I would have deleted it all. At the second draft it ballooned to 300 pages typed. Then I just became a student of writing and am still learning so much about the craft to this day. Now for book 2 I am weaving a much more complicated plot and going deeper with all of the characters. I greatly look forward to bringing more and more to this series. I also have several spin off series I hope to get to as well. Who knows what will happen by then.
