What am I learning so far from writing a Parody?

I’m writing around 1k words with in James Potter and The Court of Owl and uploading a chapter a day with edits and rewrites in the process. I started doing this project as a means to see if I could write a pure parody/fan fiction within the themes of an original story world. This is what I’m learning.

  1. Research. I have had to do a lot of damn research in getting some themes right and my mind focused on the world I’m writing in.
  2. Keeping to a tight schedule. I’m making myself stick to writing 17 chapters with this thing. Run and done.
  3. Outline. I have a outline for every damn chapter and the progress of the story and it’s a lot less complicated trying to think up what I will write about the next day. I already know but I still have to adjust the name of the chapter once it’s written.
  4. managing my energy. This is a short project in a novella form. But still I have to manage my energy because I still have another project that is on a longer time table.
  5. Chatgpt. I’m using A.I prompts a lot for this one. For images, analysis of writing, research and images. It’s cutting down the time and keeping me focused on getting my writing done on time.

Conclusion. I will adapt what I’m learning for my next books and use everything I’m collect it all together in a tool box. If I can master what I have going my productivity will increase as will the quality of my writing editing.
