Writing Corner: How I Write - Keeping Track of Multiple Books Across a World

-
When writing multiple series set in one world, keeping track of details can become difficult, especially if the main characters in one series are secondary characters in another.  My process for keeping track of events, timeline, characteristics, and conversations is old school.

I've found that being on social media not solely for promotion is a good way to connect with people.  I tweet about upcoming movies and television shows, reply to others' tweets,...
