Here is my first attempt at piecing together a storyline from the 600+ pages of novel scrapbooking I undertook between 2021 and 2022. After all this time, the piece is finally digitised! π©π»βπ»
I finished this timeline in early 2023, proving to myself that, on a technical level, it was possible to write this story. Every note includes a reference to the specific scrapbook and page they are derived from. What seems like an extreme process(!) was simply the natural progression of my collaging approach to idea generation. When you piece two ideas together, you end up with three. A page becomes a scene; a timeline, a novel.
Itβs almost 2026 now. So, after a year of intense surgical recovery (2024) and then study (2025), Iβm deeply excited by the possibility of finishing my manuscript in 2026. Yay!! ππ₯Ή
And the digitisation process, in November 2025:
