DEFACER AUTHOR CHRONICLES: Story Craft #1 - Outlining
STORY CRAFT #1
~ Outlining ~
I'm by no means an expert. In the end it's all your personal preference. There are no set rules for how you compose your story. We each have our methods that work for us, and one method may work better than others depending on how your creativity flows.
For me, I use outlines. I need to know where I'm going, what my end goal is, and what I'm working toward. I usually have several key sequences in my head and the ending. I need to know my ending before I begin.
This keeps me as the writer on point, not getting distracted or lost in the weeds. It also keeps me motivated, working toward those all-important scenes that I can't help but continually think about. And when you finally get to these pivotal scenes, it feels all the more gratifying.
From there, I build the connective tissue. Sometimes new sequences are born during this stage and moments of inspiration follow. These moments may alter other events and, if so, I adjust anything else if need be. I tend to try and work in the moments of inspiration to fit with what I have planned already, so as to not completely derail what I had envisioned to begin with.
This is how I work best in crafting my stories and it is how Defacer and Defacer II: Bloodlust were created and ultimately composed.

DEFACER II: BLOODLUST Paperback Release!
Bigger. Bloodier. Bolder.
The next bloody chapter in the story of Defacer is here
How much evil can you endure?
After two years of being the Defacer, Jeremy's life wavers at the brink. With every kill the evil inside him grows, swallowing what little remains of his soul. His next kill could be his last.
Having narrowly survived the battle against the Devourer, Jeremy comes face to face with a far deadlier threat. Enemies descend upon him from all sides and, unless he can conquer the power of the Defacer, he will lose everything and everyone he holds dear.
Jeremy's mettle is tested against an opponent beyond any he has faced before: The Blood Queen. She craves him with a ravenous bloodlust, traversing any length to claim him. She alone knows the secrets of the Defacer that will save him, offering him forbidden knowledge in exchange for his submission.
Standing before the Blood Queen, Jeremy is faced with a choice: sacrifice his freedom for survival or take his fate into his own hands. Which is the greater evil; the monsters without or the monster within? And can he survive either?
The cycle of bloodshed continues ...
