This trip features already in Aide Memoire, and is also mentioned in Dead Wood. I’ve also decided that the cruise, with Audrey, Lucinda and Helen onboard, will sails from, and back to, Southampton, in the UK. I have yet to discover these ‘extras’ but can add them easily, later. Each ‘golden girl’ will have a cabin steward, and there will be dinner companions, cruise staff and entertainers, love interests, etc. More characters will appear in due course. I can delete them later if they distract me too much! It will serve to remind me of these relationships, even if these characters do not appear in the new novel. Simple!īy 2019, I had begun to structure my character sketches, so when I drag Helen’s character sketch into place in my new project, along with her comes information about her closest relatives. Rather than type in their character sketches afresh, I arrange two projects (one old and my new one) in separate windows on my screen … and drag the character sketches from project file to project file. The Golden Girls has the three main characters, one from each of the three books leading up to this one: Audrey, Lucinda and Helen. If, later, I decide to change the novel name, I will need to alter the entries here. This information is used during Compile eg for the title page. Click on the icon that looks like a luggage label. Having saved the project file, Scrivener has created the project metadata automatically and this can be seen via File / Compile. I have them all, ready for reading/action, on my laptop. This novel will (eventually) become the fourth and (probably) final novel in a series, the other three being the novels I began during NaNoWriMo in 2012, 20. I’ve already set up a new folder in my NANO folder for 2019, and save the new Scrivener project file within that. I’m calling my 2019 novel The Golden Girls. Then, since this novel going to be simple, I choose the Novel template. I’m writing a novel, so I choose Fiction from the list on the left. Subsequent blog posts will show the preparation done ahead of midnight on 31 October, when I start writing the manuscript. This blog post takes you through the initial process. Starting a new novel happens, for me, about this time every year, in preparation for a writing splurge during NaNoWriMo.
