    Thank you, gosh. I get so stuck on making everything perfect, having everything figured out before I move on, etc. that I can honestly go days without writing and then I feel just awful about it. I'm like omg I'm going to die and never finish this thing. Now I will just go ham and make sure I have a draft and then fix everything later.

    • @briellewrites
      @briellewrites  28 дней назад

    Okay, fine. I’ll write the book. I loved these tips and the tough love, I really needed it. I have been working on the outline for my novel and your tip about only outlining five chapters at a time and then writing those chapters made a whole lot of sense and I don’t know why I didn’t think about it before. So I am going to start doing that!

    edit: however, i do think my biggest issue is that im writing a book that will eventually involve time travel, and i know there's stuff that happens in this book that has to tie in later, so that's definitely been holding me back. but i will say, discovering writing some chapters has helped a lot! just those fine details that are hard to

    However this time I ploughed through and finished the first draft of my first romance novel in 6 months! Currently editing the second draft and it's definitely hard -but I will not give up 🎉
    Loved your insights and they're definitely all good tips!
    Hope working on your manuscript revisions is going great 😊 Cannot wait to read it!

    Tip 8 is an interesting one I hadn't thought of due to not being a pantser, but it could benefit me on the next project (a low-budget TV miniseries) to make the scripting and outlining simultaneous. This way the question "does the plot read clearly when you try to sum it up?" will have an answer for each episode drafted.
    Sorry to hear you've got ants. Have you considered breeding spiders?

    These tips could've helped when I started this godforsaken draft back in 2022 😭 And I totally agree with outlining the book AFTER you've gotten a few scenes in 🫶🏽 Okay, fine, I'll write the book (but ONLY because I'm 2 scenes away from The End 🎉)
