It’s a bit nutty to say I’ve been writing one novel for a decade but as much as I don’t want to admit this I am. Everyone has their own process and hey this is mine. I had to have imposters syndrome and take a master class in life to figure it out. So, they say after 10 years you’ll be an overnight success. Which means this novel no matter what will be successful.
I’m about to finish draft 2 of my novel Desert Wasteland. Recently I picked up a craft book to recommend to you. Refuse to Be Done How to Write and Rewrite a Novel in Three Drafts by Matt Bell. It struck me that this particular book hit to my exact pain point and love of where I was at in my writing journey.
Sometimes you need a self help writing book to get you to finish line and this one is going to be my kick in the ass writing coach to not give up because my goal is have this book finalized by May so I can get it ready for print and be sold starting in October!
If I get some time I’m going to reach out to Matt Bell and interview him on his book and learn more about his process.
