Series Planning

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

I’m grappling with timelines.

My series books are completely independant from one another, but there are overlapping incidents.

This shouldn’t be too big a deal, but it’s getting to be. Kind of. Becuase I know that readers will spot any inconsistencies or flubs I make and I don’t want to disappoint or lose any readers.

For example, I’m very clear about each of my Olympians’ ticks and features, down to eye-color. So if, for example, Poseidon has the palest blue eyes in Book 1 and 2, he certainly can’t have grey eyes in book 3. I realize this is a dumbed down example, but you get the point.

How to keep the events ordered and clear?

Note cards?

 

Software? (I will totally use software if it will make me as happy as the woman in the picture!!!)

 

 

Story Bible?

I’d love to hear what’s been most successful for you. If you’re in a sharing mood that is :) ??
