It started off as a movie script outline when a friend and I wanted to film a low budget zombie movie in high school. We never made the movie and the outline sat dormant for a long time.
Once I decided to make the outline into a novel, it took several months to flesh out the scenes into chapters and then almost a year to finish the first draft! There was a lot of learning for my first book!
But now planning goes much smoother now that I know how I work. For me, it's best to write out almost a summary of every chapter, kinda like Pre-Cliff Notes. From there I write the first draft and then it's all downhill after that!(less)

I find that working on a side project helps keep the creative juices flowing, even though I'm not working on my main work.

Or I force myself to write anyways.

For example, I was working on a chapter on my second book and could not seem to get past one part. I kept thinking, "Man, this is boring." And as a writer, if you think something is boring, your readers will most likely think it's boring too. But I just kept reworking it, until something clicked and I think that chapter turned out really good.(less)

SZP Ep. 04 Getting back into the groove and Publishing Tips


 


Hey Everyone! Yes, I am still alive! This episode has two purposes: to one let you know what I’ve been up to and why there hasn’t been an episode in a hot minute.


And two, I want to give some Publishing Tips for anyone who is just getting started. I’m currently helping a guy publish his first book and let’s just say, unfortunately, there are people out there that prey on those who don’t know any b

“Lies are neither bad nor good. Like a fire they can either keep you warm or burn you to death, depending on how they're used.”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

“Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has. That's not stupidity or weakness, that's just human nature.”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

“People will buy bogus quick-fix solutions all day long, but few want to hear that the way to build a business or make money is to work hard for a long time and never surrender.”
Sean Platt, Write. Publish. Repeat.

“The reward of being able to tell stories every day is worth the effort required to make it happen, no matter how long it takes.”
Sean Platt, Write. Publish. Repeat.

“Success comes from hard work and the accumulation of small numbers. Unlike yesterday, today’s prosperity can bloom from continuous intelligent production. For the first time in history, life as a full-time writer has become about simple math.”
Sean Platt, Write. Publish. Repeat.
