Beginning a New Book Project

I had to leave my trilogy research in favor of finishing up my six year work on a book about using storytelling with at-risk youth and now for a new book on the Western New York region. I haven't signed the contract yet but will in the next day or two. I needed to be sure I had enough material to meet their April deadline. So much to do, so little time but such is the writer's life.

Day One: involved jotting down ideas for book topics and a brief search to see if there was enough for a pitch.

Day Two: Once that was done I started listening and looking everywhere for additional material. I found quite a bot and will reveal that once the book is more fully formed (it's a competitive business you know.)

Day Three: searching the Internet for as much information as possible on each topic to see if there is enough for those to be included and get some idea of how they will fit together.

Day Four: a trip tot he historical library.
