So yesterday while working on chapter 5, then whole story fell into place. The underlying plot, the climax, even the ending. Wow. It was like a burst of inspiration.
The problem is I can write it fast enough. Its like the whole story is in my head, and I can’t get it out!
I’ve pretty much played the entire book out in my head. The hard part is writing the details.

Well I spent yesterday rewriting Chapters 1 through 4. One and Four were the toughest because they had the most content about the characters.
I am now stuck on a flashback to a soldier in the Civil War, Wikipedia here I come!
Cheer me for inspiration!

So I was up to Chapter 5, and I realized my story lacked more excitement. The two people reading for me found it exciting, but in my heart I found it lacking what it truly needed.
My story “was” a borderline fantasy/reality. Think of it as reality with fantasy elements.
Well I found it rather boring that this amazing “team” of people had to fly in a commercial vehicle to get to “missions”.
There were other aspects too.
So I have expanded the Fantasy side of it a bit more. I am still linking it to plausible reality, but it will still engage mystery, and fantasy.
Chapter 1 re-write, complete.

I have written 18,000 words so far. I have solidified the plot more, and created the legend the story is about.

I am worried my first chapter may seem to comic book like. Its an adventure story, but my main character is sort of like “the Tick. I need to inject more realism.

Finished the first chapter. Also helped me better define the characters by “actions”.
Need to research non-lethal weapons for use in the jungle.

Well I started writing my book. I was wondering if anyone has used NewNovelist.com software to organize and write a book. I have notes everywhere, on my laptop, desktop and my iPhone.
If you’ve use this or any other software please let me know.
Thanks

I have an idea for a young adult novel, sort of like the age for Harry Potter fans. Have to work on the character bible, and come up with a plot
