Ready to start writing Sgt. Dunn Novel #12!

I reached a point where I have plotted 80% of the next book. What that means is I'm planning for 45 chapters and know what happens in 36 of them. The 9 that are left are THE main attack story for the book. I know roughly what's going to happen, but will wait until I've written a few chapters to go back and fill in those last 9 chapters' plot. 

Now when I say "plotted," I mean I've written a sentence or two description of what happens. I also enter the date, day, time, and location, as well as who the Point of view character is. While plotting is fun and challenging for me, the real joy of writing occurs when I write the 1600 words (or so) that make up a chapter. That's where the real creativity shows up for me, especially when "something" happens in the chapter that I did NOT plan on. 

This early in the writing, I don't tell anyone outside of my family and FIRST READERS what the book is about, but I will say that: 

• Saunders goes to Sweden (yes, neutral Sweden!) for his first mission of the book
• Dunn goes to a very northernmost place in Italy (in the Alps Mountains, in winter!) for his first mission
• They combine forces to go to Sardinia, Italy to save the day.

We'll get to see Gertrude continue where she left off in Hunting Sgt. Dunn. (Don't want to give away her story if you haven't read that book yet.)

Our old friend Neil Marston, the British spy, makes an appearance, too.

It looks like loads of fun. I can't wait to start chapter 1 tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by.
