So I haven't actually written anything yet. I know I feel like a failure on the one hand. Yet on the other hand I have developed my world to such an extent that it is such a rich and vibrant place that if I somehow could I would transport myself there and move there and never look back. Vampires, werewolves, demons, ghosts and flesh eating monsters that lurk in the shadows and all! However I have also outlined many possible scenes that will probably appear in the book I am "working" on as well as a scene or two set in the same fictitious universe.
I have also taken to writing down every scrap of idea for stories, plots and possible book themes that come to me at every random moment of the day or night. Many of these ideas occur in my convoluted universe and as such have given me much mental fodder for a possible series of books. Others however are completely different and as such have led me down a path that I have never considered before. I now have 2 Works In Progress. My Original WIP that I am struggling to figure at least the rough outline from Point A to Point B and a completely new WIP set in the same universe that at least in my mind I can clearly see the path from start to finish.
The only problem with WIP2 is that while I can see it in its near entirety I do not find it as tantalizing as the original WIP that has dead-ended. However that may just be me being stubborn. Perhaps I should just begin to write them both in concert and let what happens happen. Who knows maybe WIP1 will not work out and WIP2 will be the book people will want to read. I guess only time will tell.
