Hey hey everybody!

Organization: [awr-guh-nuh-zey-shuh n] noun. the act or process of organizing.

This is what I've been up to this week with Book One. Awr-guh-nuh-zey-shuh n. It was a daunting task at first, but then I found that I rather enjoyed the power I hold over my future readers. I can either send them to fifty years ago, or back to the 14th century with just the click of a few keys. I was drunk on it.

Power: [pou-er] noun. the possession of control or command over others; authority; ascendancy

While going through my two files, I decided that it's a little crazy to have 60+ pages in one document (even though I had always known that the day would come when they got to this length when I originally divided everything to keep in chronological order), so now I have 6 documents about 20 pages in length, in plot order. Eeek!

It was exciting to read through what the final (well, how I imagine it) product will be. A happy little discovery: the next scene I'm working on is the time period that changes D for the rest of the story. Lots of pressure on me now!

I do need to be careful, and think futuristically, because Book Two and Book Three revisit this memory, and I want to make sure that I'm not going to be repeating myself in the coming years/books.

More exciting news that really doesn't pertain to me except for the fact that I really hope I'm able to attend this event next week *takes deep breath after run-on sentence*

Maggie Stiefvater, #1 NYT Bestselling Author of The Shiver Trilogy (also Books of Faerie), is coming to campus (I work in higher education, which you'd know if you read my bio to the right!) to speak and do a book signing next week! AGHHHH I was shocked that this event flew under my radar and I had nothing to do with planning it o.O

Anyway, so I shall have to acquire hard copies of her books because asking her to sign my phone with a sharpie would be a little weird.
