There is a town I created where all the characters of the
many books and stories I’ve written live. I miss that place called Ravenwood.
Lately I have seriously been thinking I need to take time out
of, well, wasting time, to write again. In particular, I have four books in
mind I want to revisit and get ready for publishing; a children’s picture book,
a youth chapter book, a young adult novel and adult science fiction novel. Ugh…
that doesn’t seem as narrowed down as I originally thought.
When I first started writing, I didn’t really think about
names and places, but when I was in college and in a creative writing class, it
really got me thinking about making the characters from my books all from the
same place with overlapping timelines. After tinkering with some of my books I
wrote in middle and high school, I realized this was definitely the route I
wanted to take; to create a fictional town where all the crazy trapped in my
head could escape. Now I just need to take some time out of my day to allow
this to happen once again.
