I also have some ideas for future books when all those things are finally done, like some Japanese historicals (starting with the Heian era, which is a LOT further back in time than I've ever written, barring some discontinued story from prehistory 20+ years ago), books set during the High and Late Middle Ages, and something set during the Golden Age of Islam. Given how my brain is wired, it's really no big deal for me to keep all these ideas and outlines in my head. I've had entire books and storylines memorized back and forwards for years before I finally wrote them down.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-48831658723665658082014-12-03T14:58:51.585-05:002014-12-03T14:58:51.585-05:00Loved your excerpt, Chrys!

Yesterday I scoured through the numerous word docs that are unfinished stories. Some of them were swiftly dragged into the waste bin and another one, I stared at the words thinking, "Wow, did I write that. That could be a great story." So, I completely agree that writing down all ideas. Who knows where one may lead? Thank you for the post.
