4 Important Elements Of The Writing Process

1.  Fitting writing into your daily life in a practical way.

  When do you find time to write?

How do you manage to write at least a little bit each day, without having to take significant time from other important aspects of your life?

What writing exercises do you make daily habits?

2.  Finding inspiration and topics for your writing.

  What do you write about?

What genre are you most comfortable with, fiction or non-fiction?

What do you readers want, and how can you deliver in a way that brings them back for your next book?

Who is your audience and what appeals to them?

3.  Developing a long-term writing plan.

Are you writing a memoir, or will this be your first book in a series of fiction novels?
 

How long do you want your first book to be, or is that important within your genre?

Who are your characters and how do you plan on developing them?

 If you're writing non-fiction, how will your first book introduce the topics you are likely to write books about in the future?

 What is your writing strategy for setting yourself apart from other writers in your genre?

 Have you started brainstorming ideas for a title?

4.  Editing, proofreading and revising.

  If you're not hiring an editor, what is your plan for editing your book to look as professional as possible?

  Have you read through your entire book to check for errors, typos or awkwardness in grammar?

  Has anyone else read through it as well?

  Have you spell checked the entire manuscript?

 Have you removed words that are unnecessary and taken out parts that bog down the writing?

  How often have you revisited the writing to make appropriate revisions?

THINK:

 Inspiration. What do you know best? Writing what you know is easy when you're an expert in a specific niche or when you are aware of your passions or favorite genres.

 It's important to be familiar with your strengths as a writer and as a creative individual.

PLAN:

 Lots of content written for your book. Make it the best you possibly can, put your everything into it.

GET:

If you can afford to hire a professional editor to proofread and edit your manuscript, do it!


Otherwise, be prepared to spend some time on doing it yourself.

Reach out to those you know for help with this, as they are sure to catch errors you miss and make suggestions to strengthen the the parts of your writing that could use some improvement.

PLAN:

 Write an outline for your book, especially if it's non-fiction.

Sometimes writing the outline BEFORE you write the book can be very useful for planning and organizing the content. Use it to streamline the writing process.

GO:

 Search the internet and do some research about self-publishing a novel.

 Read blogs written by successful writers, they offer a wealth of information to publishing newbies.


Have a good time and stay safe.
