Drafting School #2: First Draft Nuts & Bolts
On software, POV, TKs, word count goals, and more
Hi Book Pals,
It seems like Part 1 was well received, so I’m back with another installment of Drafting School. ICYMI: Drafting School is a download from my brain to yours with every single thing I know about writing a first draft of a novel divided into a still unknown number of monthly installments. (I’m thinking at least 3 based on the volume of topics I’ve jotted down in my Notes app.)
Last month, we covered the idea phase and the choice to outline (or not!). Today, we’ll be diving into drafting mechanics including:
Software
POV & tense
TKs
Word count goals
Energy management
Timeline to completion
Onward!
