Thoughts

So, I spent yesterday looking back over all of my old posts. It made me realize that, while this is far more organized than my written records of what I write, this is still not as organized as I'd like it to be. I'm really considering getting my own website to do with this stuff as I please.
It was a lot of fun going back and reading through it all. The incredible difference between that little blurb I posted of my failure to begin my book and where the beginning is actually at now was really mind-boggling to me. It made me really want to dive into it again, but, I am holding back.
There is a lot to wade through with the particular points of the storyline that are crucial to have figured out. If I finish this book, and then three books down the road suddenly realize something else or want to change something, I'm going to be in a lot of trouble. Once I figure out every detail about Rhia's husbands, lovers, children, and friends - that is, who they were, their names, their races, where they came from, and what happened specifically between them and Rhia - I'll be able to lay out a bulletted timeline for myself to reference while writing. Sure, I know there will still be surprises in store for me even down to my last book. That's what writing is. The characters are not my own, but their own persons, with lives all their own, that I've just got the priveledge to observe and record on paper for the rest of the world to witness.
How grande writing can be, ne? I am definitely beginning to think it is one of the most rewarding jobs I could have taken.
