I like the music analogy. Very accurate. And writing should be fun, I agree. Your method has a lot of similarities with Shawn Coyne's "Story Grid" method--you should look into that if you haven't already (you have more fun stickers and colors lol). That's what I used to straighten out the final draft of King of the Forgotten Darkness. Highly recommended.
What I am going to try is write 2 or 3 flash fiction stories in the same genre/world that I will write my book in, then write 2 or 3 short stories, and last write my book. I was thinking of having the flash fiction and short stories actually be intros/beginnings for some of the other characters (not the protagonist) that will be in my main book, and when I publish my book for sale, publish those flash fiction and short stories for free to try to get more people interested in getting/trying my book since I would be unknown. I don't have Instagram (or social media besides my RUclips channel that I have ignored for years until recently and isn't related to writing), but when my book is finished, I'd be on your podcast if you want. I'd want to finish first though.
Thank you, you gave some great nuggets 💛🙏🏾
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching and for your comment

That sounds like a great plan. Let’s do it!
Best wishes with your writing!
Love your vids... but this one is a bit quiet
I tried a different microphone. I don’t think I’ll use it again. 😅
