Timeline:
We mentioned needing to keep track of events in your
novel, i.e. a time line, now you can list them as in from A to B, or you can
draw an actual line and write down what is happening and when.
Talk
it out:
When stuck on a part of your story, and it does not
seem like you can move forward, have a reporter talk to your characters about
the event that has just happened, this little device could manage to move the
story forward.
Do you have a good friend or a group of writers that
you chat to about your story? Why not brainstorm with them about where to go to
next? It could work.
Tools
of the trade:
When writing we all know that the pen / pencil, paper,
typewriter, computer, and printer are our closest buddies and what we use to
create our vomit draft. When editing we add sticky notes, index cards, questionnaires,
timelines, character check lists, notebooks and either red pens or
highlighters. Make sure that you have your tools of the trade ready to go
before you sit down to either write or edit.
Taking
it Easy!
This is a note to remind you not to rush through your
editing process, take it easy, take your time and if you can enjoy it. Be happy
with the changes that you are making, and with the success of finally finishing
your vomit drive. May there be many more
‘New Novels’ in your future.
