The Beginning of Book 7 - don't know what the title is yet.

2/26/2012

 
I just started Book 7.  It's either going to be called Gappy Goes Undercover, Gappy the Spy, or Gappy in Disguise.  A few days ago, I sat down and wrote the outline.  I had a vague idea what it was going to be about, and more ideas began flowing as soon as I started typing.  I left it alone overnight and started writing the book the next day.  Whenever I start a new book, it can take me hours to write the first few pages, especially if it's been a few months since I last wrote.  First of all, it takes me hours of messing about and procrastinating and letting myself get sidetracked before I actually start.  I don't stress too much about how it should start.  There'll be plenty of time once the book's written to go back and see how it should start, but maybe it's something to do with fear of failure - that I won't be able to write as well this time, or I'm going to have writer's block, or . . . I don't know, but that first day is the worst of the whole book-writing period.  Once I've written a few pages, I will start to get on a roll.  Then when I leave off, I can just continue on from where I left off, unless something happens, like in Book 3, Gappy is Kidnapped, when the last third was calling to me so strongly, I absolutely had to get it out the way before I could go back and start at the beginning.
