It has been a while since I last attempted blogging. My last post is coming up on two years ago. So why take it up again? If I could so easily set it down, why try again?
As yet there has been a low readership for most of my blogs, so this Writing Story is certainly not bound to break records as a reader's favorite. What I have come to think more important about this blog is a place to put my ideas, my journey, my progress through the writing of a story where I can go back and see how far I've come. When thoughts just come and go at whim, it is easy enough to forget every one of them. I hope to look back on this blog after something good has come of my novel writing and see what I have thought throughout the process (and delete it if I think myself too silly!).
One other idea that has spurred me toward a renewal of my blogging is the nature of my Work In Progress. So far, my novel scribblings have been either Fantastical or Science Fictional/Dystopian. Worldbuilding in such instances is fun, but entirely imaginary, though perhaps it rings with reality. My new project is different. I am endeavoring to go back in history, go to a country in this real world, and bring my readers into Victorian England. Big task. Lots of research.
This blog going to (hopefully) act as an extensive notebook for my historical research. And, if anyone has the fortitude to read it, I hope I can present interesting bits of information for the enlightenment of others.
Where to Start?
This is not so easy a question to answer. I've put together my list of ideas and points to touch on and share, but what goes first? Next post will provide a road-map to what ideas will make their way to the page, though I cannot promise complete adherence to it! For the sake of any generous readers, I will certainly give some ideas of what my story is and what they can expect from it.
When?
Another difficult, but necessary, question! I hope to keep up once a week posting, but if time and inspiration permit, I may find myself here more often. But remember: I am writing this as notes for my novel writing, so this cannot take up all my time!
Closing
Thank you, any readers, whoever you are, for joining me for this first post! I hope to see you again! Come back to join me as I explore history and the human condition throughout the ages.
With my Best Wishes,
Maggie Rosario
