Aug. 1st, 2011 06:26 pmI need to find a good artist to listen to while I write FTDDDJ, for the first book it was nothing but Maroon 5, because it fit Bastian. The next will definitely be Goldfrapp, because it's pure Ritz. I'm not sure about the last one yet tho, I'm leaning towards AC/DC and all the good oldies. I'm just sort of on shuffle for this one now, but I don't think I mind it so much. Its certainly not moving as fast as it could, but then again, when I wrote the first book I didn't expect to be writing sequels, now as I'm writing I'm thinking about what I want to happen later on, and how everything I want to tie in will work out.
I am loving some of this back-story that the reader gets from David.
I'm liking the Ritzko Project more now that I'm working on sequels and I'm pretty sure that its because I ended the first book so quickly and there were a lot of loose ends that were never tied up. I don't actually expect to ever tie up all those loose ends, but the reader does eventually figure out what all is going on by the end of book 3 (i fully expect more loose ends to be uncovered by the end of this book), and Jenna is really the only character that ever pieces everything together.
The biggest problem I seem to keep encountering on this project is that each of the characters that are narrating are withholding information from each other, so things that Bastian explained to the reader in book 1 have to be discovered by David (unless Bastian has already mentioned it to him, but there is a lot he never told David).
I love writing Gale and Ritz, they're such a kickass combo.
