The Unification Chronicles

This is going to be an exper­i­ment I believe to be unique in pub­lish­ing. As I write my Uni­fi­ca­tion Chron­i­cles series of books and the follow-​​on sto­ries, I’ll be post­ing absolutely every­thing here. Notes, out­lines, research, even the texts of drafts. And of course final ver­sions of every­thing in both PDF and pod­cast form for free.

Why? Because this is what I wished I could see when I was learn­ing to write. I read every word Joe Straczyn­ski posted on the inter­net dur­ing the pro­duc­tion of Baby­lon 5, but I knew there was so much I didn’t have access to. So much I could learn from if I could com­pare the build­ing blocks to the final prod­uct. Well, now, I’m pro­vid­ing that resource to other writers.

WARNING: There be spoil­ers here, big time. This is an all-​​access behind the scenes look at a work in progress. It wouldn’t achieve what I want if I held any­thing back. So if you don’t want to know how the story ends, who the hid­den trai­tors are, where the immor­tals really came from, etc., head on over to JeffKirvin.net. I’ll keep post­ing there as well, more gen­eral writ­ing and tech­nol­ogy arti­cles, and 100% spoiler free. I’ll post there as well when new fin­ished con­tent is avail­able if you just want the sto­ries when they’re done. That’s the din­ing room, this is the kitchen.

But if you’re a writer, want to be a writer, or ever just won­dered how cre­ative peo­ple come up with all this stuff, wel­come aboard. I look for­ward to our conversations.
