Upcoming Titles and Cover Preview!

Hello!

I can't believe it's April already, time really does fly.

I've been working nonstop to get more titles out and if all things go as planned, I'll be releasing one this week!

I have over ten titles outlined and ready to be written so expect a lot of material from me soon!

My latest story is a little different from my other titles because it focuses more on the emotional connection between two lovers. I'm still working out a few kinks here and there but I really think you will enjoy this one!

Here's a small preview of the book cover:

Have a great week everyone!

Fleshing Out Ideas for Writers

A simplified version of how I flesh out my ideas:

1. Have a general idea of a story
2. Write down everything you know about the story you want to write about. I try to do this as fast as possible because ideas ejaculate quickly and it’s easier to gather my thoughts when I can actually see everything in front of me instead of leaving it to float around in my head.
3. Organize what I’ve written down. Omit and include where necessary. This can be done easily if you categorize everything by characters, plot, and setting.
4. You’ll have a pretty good idea about your story by this point so try to figure out how you want it to end. This doesn’t have to be concrete but it’s a lot easier for me to write when I have a destination. The beginning is usually the opposite.
5. Write an outline of everything that leads to the end. The more detailed you make this, the faster you’ll write. I also make sure that I’m excited about each scene because if I’m bored writing, I feel like readers will be bored reading. I used to be a pantser but outlining has helped me write so much faster. With a clear outline, you can see what will and won’t work from a glance and it’s a lot faster to adjust an outline compared to adjusting a bunch of paragraphs.

For character creation:

I usually have a rough idea of each character’s personality before I start writing. To make this a lot easier, I try to model them after someone I’m familiar with like a character from a TV show/movie/book or someone I know in real life. I try not to focus too much on this part, I just toss them into the story and write out exactly how I think they’ll react to everything.

Secret weapon? Scrivener. It’s incredibly helpful for organizing all of the things I’ve mentioned above. When I’m actually in the process of writing a story, I make sure to jot down anything that might be of significance just in case I want to bring it up later.

That’s basically how I do things! It might not work for everyone but hopefully someone will find this useful.
