Like many writers, I find I slip into the mode of student when September rolls around. I can almost smell the #2 pencils and vintage Pee-Chees as I pen this post. Consequently, I believe my unconscious self feels it's time to do the work of a scribe - no matter what. Recently, my writer friends and I got together for our annual write-out at my home and I was super-inspired to begin a new project - which I did. It's the second book in my proposed MG fantasy series.
(By the way, if you're a new visitor to Writ of Whimsy, you should know that I use my Friday posts primarily as an online journal. Thus, the name: Storyteller's Journey! That being said, I also enjoy posting tidbits for writers, and other important writerly subjects I want to explore.)
If you know me at all, you know I love having multiple projects in process - several irons in the fire, if you will. So far on my storyteller's journey this has been the best approach for me. While I know I need to be a consistent writer to be a professional author, I do like having the choice of what to work on. That being said, once I get lost in the setting and premise of a children's story, I tend to stay there for some time.
This current project didn't arise out of thin air. My husband and I traveled to Europe in 2014 in large part to allow me to research possible future projects set in England, France, Italy, & Scotland. Also, since this past summer I worked to polish the first book in the Livvi Biddle Series, I've got Livvi on my mind! (Below is my attempt at art.)

In any event, I'm glad to be so inspired this September; I hope to complete the first draft of this second book by the end of the year.
Wishing each of you a great season of writing and/or creating!
