The challenge I have when writing is to focus on one portion of the story at a time and one character's point-of-view at a time. I am not a great multi-tasker. I can do it, but I am at my strongest when I focus on one thing at a time, placing my greatest energies into accomplishing it.
When I wrote
Swords of the Six,
Offspring, and
Key of Living Fire I told the stories from multiple characters' points of view. But in
Neverqueen I focused mostly on Violet's story. The result was a focused story arc that I found easier to write.
Currently I am chipping away at
In Search of Dragons. Ilfedo is the focal point in this story. He has left some of his grief behind and is greatly focused on preserving the heritage and future of his nation.
The great search for the dragon Venom-fier has begun!
