“Unlock Your Creative Potential: The Secret Writing Plan That Will Transform Your Craft!”
Creating a plan for a specific project is pretty simple:
- Identify the goal of the project. What does the finished product look like?
- Break the project into major milestones. For a book, this would probably be an outline, research, first draft, rewrite, etc.
- Don’t forget the business side of things. Do you need to compile a list of agents? Will you need to line up an editor or a cover designer? What kind of marketing will you need to do?
- Break the major milestones into smaller tasks. Writing a draft, for example, is a big undertaking. Tackle it chapter by chapter or scene by scene.
- Establish a realistic timeline and document your plan. Commit to it.
- When you finish your project, review your plan and learn from it so you can plan better next time.

A plan doesn’t guarantee success, but I’ve found that having a plan — and writing it down — makes success a lot more likely. Have you ever put together a long-term writing plan? What about a project plan? How did it work for you? Share your thoughts by leaving a comment, and keep writing.
