Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes, it was my first book called Aftermath. I had no way to publish it. I sent several copies to the major book publishers, but new authors like myself have very little chance of success. I had none, only rejection letters with little hope to publish. Then I was lucky enough to land on Smashwords. I reworked the book, published on Smashwords. Later I changed the name to "Blood Grip Against The Land" and reworked the cover. I had written the first copy on an old IBM used electric typewriter, for those of you who remember. This was long before even Star Wars. I enjoy writing science fiction and some horror.
What is your writing process?
At first I could just sit and write from my imagination. When I had things on my mind I tracked events, people, and other issues I wanted to refer to quickly. With this approach I use a table with titles like Book Title and Author and under that a table with headings like, you can use any you like:
Chapter, Names, Places, Vocabulary Words - regular or invented - and Character Traits. Sometimes I will color code items depending on need. For example, I might decide to color code all character names in green, red, or favorite color. This approach can help if you use speicific details that carry across many chapters. Nevertheless, I start out with a simple concept for the book or story, write a simple outline and add to it if I need to later, but this comes after I plot out what I call the skeleton of the plot with some idea of what the beginning, middle and end might read like. Sometimes I will ask mysel, What would I do if I were the character or what would that "character" do, etc.
