Genre Hopping, Can We Be Friends?

I was asked a question on how this book I am currently is different than all my other books. 

That's simple. 

​It's completely different. 

The first thing that is different is that I am plotting out every thing. Every last thing I possibly can. Actually let me change plotting to blueprinting. I am living inside my new world and taking all the notes I absolutely can at each visit. This is entirely new to me. 

I am a pantser by nature, but have found when it comes to my writing I end up adding so much after the story is finished it hinders my flow. Over the last year, I spent time really analyzing my writing process and business. Turns out I am not a pantser with writing.

The second thing that is completely different is I'm writing outside of my normal genre. This is something I have wanted to try for a long time now, but I let fear take ahold and shove that "dream" into a box. I said enough with that and broke the chains. 

I am still hesitant to release a book like this one, but new adventures and what not. That's my motto for 2021. 'Do the things that make me happy.' 

More so here than anywhere else, I'll share my process of writing this book. It's going to be a doozy, that's for sure. 

Hope your week has been spectacular!
