While I am knee-deep in edits for another series, I’ve had an idea for a fantasy novel (and maybe series) kicking around for probably close to a year now. I have lots of book ideas on the back burner, but this one keeps surfacing. I’ve been exploring it through vignettes, told in microfiction.
Go for it. My novel, Baron Britpop Blastfurnace, started as a roughly 500 word story that I posted on Facebook for fun. It was so popular that I got the idea to make it into a novel. So I wrote a second story/scene based on the first. Then I basically ignored the idea for several years, occasionally writing another chapter (which are short scenes or stories that combine to make up the novel) when the mood struck. Eventually, I got serious about completing it, and did.
I'm looking forward to their journey.
Definitely a book in the making. Excellent start.
