I’m mapping out my second book in the fantasy series I’m writing. The first one sees main character, Mitch, trapped in the best selling game FABLE NATION. He has to complete a trio of quests to find his way home. It’s finished and in the hands of a publisher, we’ll see what happens. This second book is going to be a lot of fun to write (they all are). I have to travel to the exotic plains of Africa and dive into the legends and fables of the land. Mapping isn’t as much fun as the actual writing part, but it does get my mind going in a bunch of different directions and deepens my constant need to write into an insatiable hunger. I’m a bit of a mad woman when I’m thinking up a new story. I become so engrossed I can accidentally confuse reality with fiction. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I talk to my characters all the time. I’ve never gone so far as to offer them a drink or anything, but I do ask them what they want to say or do. Would it disturb anyone too terribly if I told you they answered back?
So I’m off to Africa to hang out with the white Lion that guards the entrance to the sacred Forest, Thathe Vondo. I wonder what will happen if the Lion is kidnapped or murdered? Does that mean the mythical creatures in the forest, the ones he was protecting, will escape? Which only begs the question: is the White Lion protecting the creatures or the people from the creatures?
What do you think? I would tell you but I won’t know until my fingers tell the story.
Fable Nation is going to get published if it takes Years! (witch it wont maybe by the summer?) But it is the best book! whoever has not asked for the e-mailed book do ask! Its AMAZING
