I really loved reading this email. I’m an aspiring author who is also currently trying to revise a draft that just doesn’t seem to be working no matter what I do so it’s nice to know that these kind of struggles happen to already established authors. It’s definitely given me some hope that I can figure this book out. I also really like your reverse outline technique and I think I’m going to try that myself!
I'm so glad it was helpful - let me know how the reverse outlining works out for you!! <3 But YES all of us struggle with difficult books. it is so demoralizing and sometimes it takes walking away for a while, but you absolutely can defeat it!
I love hearing about anyone's process when translating a story from their head into words on a page, and your methods are so interesting! Loved reading this essay! :)
So fascinating to read this!! Thank you for sharing your reflections with us
my pleasure! <3 thank you so much for reading!
