Joseph Terzieva liked a comment in the forum thread, How do you prepare a story?
I start with the basic shape of the story, some major signposts I want to hit, a grab bag of characters and then I go exploring. I generally have a couple of sticky notes floating around  and a sheet of graph paper with a list of concepts, events, ideas - connected by intersecting lines - more of a thought-map then a real outline. Beyond that it's limited 'pantsing' until I get a workable draft. I don't know about you guys, but my best ideas are in my fingers not my brain. AMOD exists within an established framework and history of my fiction, so there are a lot of limits and rules to what can and cannot happen that aren't immediately apparent. But within that there's plenty of room for weird cul de sacs of plot, fight scenes and such.

I'm actually loitering on the entry point of a new novel that doesn't take place in that framework and its surprising how exciting and terrifying it is.

    Joseph Terzieva liked an update for Blood Dawn

    I'm proud to share the official Blood Dawn map!

    After more than 15 months working carefully on the draft for Blood Dawn, I enjoyed a much-deserved break during the holidays. One thing I got around to doing that I've been looking forward to the most is drawing the map for the world.

    Some of you have seen the sketch of the world (it's in the third sample chapter on my project page). This map is much more detailed and put together with care. It came together like magic, in fact. I'm very pleased!

    p.s. think this is cool? If you haven't bought Blood Dawn, then now is the time! This map will appear in the book, and is but a foretaste of the rich adventure waiting for you.

          Hi all,

          I commissioned a cover for Daughter of the Mara and I just uploaded the final image! Check it out and when you do be sure to pre-order if you haven't already. Less than a month until my campaign is over and I still have a ways to go, so make a new years resolution to support the arts and pre-order Daughter of the Mara.

          Thank you all for your support!

              Joseph Terzieva recommended She, the Defiant
              If you are at all interested in She Is The End, follow the draft for the sequel She, the Defiant.

              My campaign ENDS TODAY!!!

              If you want a copy signed by me, this is the last day to pre-order it.

              ALSO, I decided that anyone who pre-orders today will become a character in the book. You! In the book! So, order now!

              I'm excited and scared, guys. I need to mold this manuscript into the most beautiful thing I've ever created (besides my children), and then we'll get the book into your hands a quickly and smoothly as possible.

              And if you're excited about She Is the End, you can now go follow the draft for the sequel...

              She, the Defiant!

              Yay!!!
