I am in love with the whole writing process. I will say I thought that I was a panster (writing off the seat of my pants) I am most definitely an outliner. How did I not know this before? Have I not been such a detailed person? especially in storytelling? At least now, I know and understand that I must do the framework first, and then delve in to the artsy stuff of writing.
This book has been burning inside of me. I’m thinking it goes way back to 2013-2015. I’m not sure, maybe even sooner than that. Maybe I’ll find some type of rough draft somewhere, but it is certainly time. I’m actually doing this! The writing part. I’m just so amazed that years ago I would say “I’m writing a book called 60 Summers”, when I actually wasn’t, but in the reality of realities, I now recognize that sometimes a book cooks for a few years before you even start writing it. Ideas just come and go. So, in reality, I have been writing a book for years, almost a decade, but it cannot wait any longer. I think a large part of it was also my procrastination, but I am here now. 60 Summers is now simmering and will be fully cooked by this Summer! Ye.
