Secrets of The Trash Draft

My number one trick for finishing a novel

Can you guess the number one question I get asked about writing? It isn’t about navigating the complex world of publishing, or how to create vivid characters or fully realized worlds. Unfortunately, it’s not even about my absolute favorite topic: plot.

It’s this: How do you finish?

I get it. Before I became a full time writer, my computer was littered with half finished manuscripts, promising beginnings that just went nowhere because I wasn’t sure what to write next. I would just sit at my desk, staring at the white page, quietly panicking.

The blank white page is truly terrifying.

It wasn’t until I started working with a book packager that I learned how to set myself up to complete everything I started. And, because I’m not into gate keeping, I want to share that method with you.
