Encore Worth the Wait: book extras

My main book blog is on WordPress, where I've posted some book extras for Encore Worth the Wait:

Encore Worth the Wait: behind the scenes

Pages from the notebook I used while writing Encore Worth the Wait. These are the timelines I used as a guide and I constantly referred to them. I don’t outline per se, but I keep notes about scenes that need to happen. For this book timelines were important to chart how Rob and Jamie grew up together and how their relationship changed over the years, and also to chart the trajectory of their group, Poor Forbes.
The notes were written using Frixion erasable pens – and I did a lot of erasing!
⬆︎ Calendar of the key days between Jamie’s birthday and Rob’s birthday in the book’s present day.

⬆︎ List of Poor Forbes albums with singles indicated, arranged by Rob’s age, with notes about when life events happened. I initially titled “The Best Lean Years” as “The Best Least Years” but changed it in the final draft. In the upper left corner is a list of Jamie’s sisters and the difference in age between them and Jamie.

⬆︎ Key events leading up to and after Jamie’s departure, listed by Rob’s age from 48 to Jamie’s 53rd birthday.
