I just finished the first draft of my first novel! Now it‘s time to finally finish Save the Cat in an attempt to make the draft resemble a pile of trash slightly less.

If anyone out there has written a book or is in the stages of writing one, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Save The Cat Writes A Novel by Jessica Brody is to help with plotting the acts needed in a gripping book (I used it for editing to check my pacing).

#AOTD I always forget to share my writing resource books. This little collection were the three titles I used most when working on Ocean Heart.

Long time no post! I spent the last month finishing up the first draft of my novel, which I‘m so excited about! I‘m starting on revisions in October, so I‘m hoping to read these non-fic writing books I‘ve heard great things about, as well as some spooky reads. 🎃👻

Love the way this book breaks down story structure. I think it lives up to all of the hype. I am such a story structure nerd!

Getting in some NaNoWriMo time before work! 😊👩🏻‍💻✍🏼 #NaNoWriMo #writersoflitsy

I‘m thinking about doing #NaNoWriMo for fun this year, 😳 so I picked up a few novel plotting books. This book was extremely informative, well written, and concise. The examples were very helpful, and the tips were pragmatic. I‘ll definitely be referring to this one a lot, even if it‘s just to plot my favorite books.

Okay, this is a book every novelist should read. It really does give a lot of valuable insight into the process of piecing together a novel and as someone about to dive into a rewrite (not for the first time) I think its going to prove really useful in helping me figure out what's working and what isn't. Highly, highly recommended for newbie writers just starting out and the more seasoned novelists, too.

Ok, so I read A LOT of books on writing. I‘m also very confident in my writing skills. However, this books is the first one I‘ve read in a LONG time, that made me go “Woah! I really need to work on some aspects of my novel!”. It‘s so very insightful and most helpful! I highly recommend this to all #writersoflitsy , no matter how seasoned in writing you might be.

Terrific! Just what I needed 😊
