Unlock the Hidden Power of Your First Draft: What Every Writer Must Know Next
Will That Work?
No, the above plan will probably not work. No plan ever survives implementation. At some point, the plan will break down and I’ll have to make a new one. That one might work or it might not. If it doesn’t work, I’ll keep making new plans and executing each one until it breaks. Each one will get me closer to the end-game. Writing is hard. It doesn’t get easier, just because you’ve published a novel already. It gets harder, because you know more with every book.
Homework
You are different from me. Your brain works different from mine. Your plan will be different. But it won’t be completely different. You can probably use about three quarters of the ideas in my plan. You may need to reorder the steps. You may need to add some steps. You may need to delete some. But I strongly suggest that you make a plan, with time estimates attached to the big steps.
