I have set a goal of finishing the Archomai trilogy in two
years. I have a good start on Archomai II. However, I found that writing a
sequel is a lot harder than writing the first in the series. In the first book,
I could let my mind go and chase bunny rabbits where ever they went. In the sequel,
I must remember all the bunny trails and what color the bunny was at the time
of the chase. What I have found is that I must live in the world of Archomai.
By that I mean in my imagination I am there. I see the characters, and I see
the landscape. I feel the characters pain, their joy, their heartache, and
their victories. Once the characters become intimate friends with me, even the
bad ones, then I remember them in detail and take joy in writing more about
them. But when the series ends, then I must say good-bye and that will not be
easy.
Next time tying events and happenings to the characters.
