A peek into my creative process.
I’m finally wrapping up the first draft of the Chrysanthemum Seal, and immediately getting to work on second draft (there’s so much to fix already!) but first, I have to finally sit down and order the scenes around.
I managed to write this draft scene-by-scene in no particular order, as I felt it, with the entire plot in my head; but it eventually grew so complicated that before I could set the whole thing into chapters, I had to draw this: the order of events, as they happen in book-time.
Oh, and the first person to suggest I should have been using Scrivener for this, gets banned 😉

Ha! Glad to know I’m not the only one to dislike scrivinger.
Just finished the first 4 – can’t wait for this one, so hurry up already.
Thanks, glad you liked it – I’m trying my best 🙂
