queenoftheskiesWell, I FINALLY got brave and took the plunge. I took my 1,111+ page novel in progress and officially turned it into a trilogy. I managed to get it all split up the way I think the words will fall into three separate stories, and it took many, MANY hours to get it right. (At least I HOPE it's right. I keep telling myself I can fix it later. That's my mantra.)
Tonight, I'm still going to post word count the way I've been doing it, but maybe I'll switch tomorrow to using the individual novels. If I feel comfortable with them. I had to make some changes here and there to give them each their own distinct story lines instead of making them completely dependent on one another, so that's going to take some new plotting.
Hope to find time tomorrow to draw up plot points on each so I can get them finished up.
Hopefully, I haven't messed myself up and I can continue and actually finish rough drafts on each in a reasonable amount of time. :)
The new working titles are:
The Chosen Ones
The Sunken City
The Magic Within
All still under the series title of Beginning of the End.
Except that now, the first three trilogies I'm working on will ALL fall under this series title now.
The first trilogy, that I'm actively working on now, takes place in Rosemont.
The second trilogy takes place in Japan.
The third takes place in Seraphim's Cove.
Then, The Beginning of the End series will be over.
All three trilogies will cross in one stand-alone novel called Sorrow's End.
Then, several characters from the first two will meet in Flight of the Thunderbird.
Then, I head on into the two trilogies that will actually bring about "the end".
Whew!

Re: mind-boggling scope
Date: 2005-02-22 01:33 pm (UTC)Thanks. There are actually more novels in backstory and another series that comes after "the end"...if I ever have enough time in this lifetime to write them.
You'd laugh if I told you how many books I have on my series outline. They span over eons of history in the HUGE universe I've created. :)
I love world-building as much as I love character-building, I think.
