28. How to Build a Strong Foundation for Your Novel Writing

Season 1 · Episode 28

Tuesday, August 13, 2024 • Duration 10:29

Here’s the tough truth, I often see writers (myself included at one time) who are so excited about their story idea that they rush through the process and forget to establish a strong foundation for their novel.

The result is a writer who hits the midpoint with no idea how they got there or where they’re going next.

The pages suddenly don’t seem to hang together and both the character and story arcs are lacking. I don’t want this for you!

That's why today I'm sharing four steps to building your foundation:

Knowing your story message
Creating healthy writing habits
Studying elements of story structure
Pushing through self doubt
