The Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? My writing process is very simple. I tend to vomit out my first draft; cringe at the mess, then start to fix it through the editing process. I am a panster writer which makes things a little interesting in that my characters tend to write the story […]
The Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? I’m a new-ish writer, so I’m still developing a style. It’s was my habit to just puke my ideas down and then “boom” I’ve got a story. Worked like a charm for book one. Book two was a bit more difficult because I suddenly had parameters from […]
The Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? My writing process involves making my surroundings as quiet as possible, no music or distractions from the hubby or kiddos, which is not an easy feat! I prefer being alone with my thoughts and characters so I can better hear what they have to tell me. 2. […]
The Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? I’m a panster by heart. The only thing I’m planning is a couple of major plot points and the ending. The last few paragraphs are written pretty early on so I can keep track of the finish line. The rest is write as a I go. 2. […]
The Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? Before I begin writing, I share my ideas with my two closest writing friends, we squeal together, then I get started. My writing process is a LOT of back and forth. I tend to revise while I draft, going back to a previous chapter and revising it […]

The Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? I tend to get the germ of an idea. I handwrite my thoughts and put it to one side for a few days. I then reread, if it continues to make sense I will develop it. I do not put it onto publish until I am completely […]
The Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? Well, it generally starts with an inspiration from a song, show, movie or picture. Then I plot, plot, plot, outline, research, plot, outline, research, tag all info. At that point, I then procrastinate, writer’s block and occasionally write for the next year or so. Then, when my […]
The Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? When I am plotting, I need to walk. When I get the story plotted, I break it down into chapters and plot each chapter individually. Then I write the rough draft following my chapter plots. When the draft is done, I revise. When the revision is done, […]
The Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? Put words on a page. Force them to make sense. Revise everything, from text messages to novels, a gazillion times before letting anyone else see them. Try not to be consumed with self-doubt. I have trouble plotting in too great of detail so bare bones usually does […]
