Ken Scholes is doing a listen-through of his series as he preps to finish the last book. He’s promised us a review after he finishes each of the books. If this first one is any example, it should be an interesting series of blog posts, both for the behind-the-scenes and what’s on his mind then and now. For example, today I learned he’s a discovery writer (“pantser”) 🙂
On September 11, 2006, I took the short story about Rudolfo finding the metal man and pasted it into the document. Then I took the second short story about the trial of Sethbert and did the same. I converted that text to red so I would know to check it carefully and make sure it syncs up. Then, without an outline and with only the vaguest sense of a war over Windwir erupting and culminating in a war crimes trial, I started writing. I would love to learn how to be more of a planning/outlining writer but for most of this series, I’ve been discovering it as I go.
