Writing Fiction-It’s a Process
9/7/2018
Writing, it seems so easy. Right! Bestsellers list, movie or television rights, sitting with other writers talking shop. Even though I have written posts on the subject of writing I thought it was time to revisit the process for everyone who dreams of writing a book.
#2- Outline Outline your book- Your idea for a story comes in the middle of the night or while you’re out walking the dog. Outlining will save hours and days of wasted time. There are hundreds of opinions on the outline's format. Toss them out. Create an outline you are comfortable with. I begin with the story's premise then character's names and brief descriptions. As the story builds so do the characters. I might jot down a 1-3 page story line. If I like the idea I begin. I type chapter by chapter with some dialog as a reminder of what I want. I always try to finish each chapter with a cliffhanger that pushes the story to the next chapter.
