The plot for my historical, "period piece" novel keeps unraveling every day. After reading tons of Regency and a few Victorian era fiction books, I want to tackle my own Victorian era novel. Half of the plot makes sense and half of it doesn't.
And no, I don't have this on paper, though it will be pretty soon. I'm itching to write the darn thing even though I still have tons of research to do. If I don't write something, my brain will probably explode from all the information retained in it.
What I have considered doing was to do an outline, character sketches, and a short story version while doing my research simultaneously. I am not sure if this is a good idea or not. I have a story in my head that's just dying to be on the New York Times bestseller list.
For those that are curious, I won't divulge the entire plot because I like to keep my ideas rather than have someone steal them. Basically, it's a love story, though not the mushy type because I hate mushy romances. It's also Christian themed, however, I'd like to make it appeal to secular as well as Christian audiences. Any advice or criticism is welcome by me as I am learning and growing in this kind of thing.
Sorry this blog entry is short. 1,000 Ways to Die is on. Fin.
