Writing the End… First

The problem I faced as I started in chapter one was I didn’t have a solid plan for the first fifth of my book… As I wrote it, it felt boring. So, I switched it up and decided to write the end first.

I have never seen a landscape the same as North Dakota. Truly a unique place.

3 Ways I Overcome Writer’s Block

Writer’s block. All writers know the feeling. Sitting down to write, but the daunting view of the paper/computer screen/typewriter/etc leaves you paralyzed and wordless.

Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA

I love the colors that change in the light of sunrise and the haze of day.

Celebrate Milestones

I bought a bottle of champagne part-way through writing the first draft of my book last year. So far, I’ve finished my first draft, I’ve finished three very serious edits, I’ve finished and sent it off to peers to read, and I’ve finished editing again. Have I opened that bottle of champagne?

Alnwick Castle, England, United Kingdom

Filming location for Harry Potter. A beautiful piece of history still alive today.

Loch Lomond, Scotland

I went and stared for hours, but alas I did not see Nessie. Imagining a monster under the water was better than encountering one in real life.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

A stronghold and lookout tower. As I stood gazing from below, my imagination roamed over story after story that I created for such a place.

Weasley’s Kitchen, Warner Bros Tour, London, UK

Touring some of the sets from Harry Potter inspired my soul. Seeing the behind-the-scenes didn’t wreck the movies for me, only made me appreciate the magic more!

I just did a thing!!!! I woke up today with this urgent feeling that today is the day. So I threw my original plan out the window and, after finishing my last few edits, made it the day I submitted my book to a publisher. 😁😃😆😊😝 I have to wait a few months to hear back, so I’m the meantime I’m going back to cranking out book 2 💪 MAKE TODAY A DAY THAT COUNTS! - #write #fantasy #writer #book #writersofinstagram #bigday #justdoit #hopeful #pleasepublishme #everydaycounts #spontaneous #ayearinthemaking #letsgo
Every day is beautiful like a blank page waiting to be filled, limited only by the imagination of the writer.
