Building Strong Characters
Meet me for a quick coffee break at 9:30am EST and discuss tips on making characters that readers remember! If you’d prefer can’t make it, leave a tip to help other writers when it comes to building strong characters!

Where do you start??
When you get an idea for a manuscript, where do you typically start? Do you start by outlining the plot? Do you start by outlining the characters— who they are, what they want, their objectives? Or do you start with chapter 1? Maybe you start with the plot twist or the climax? Let me know where you start your manuscript.

I used to just go! I’d start writing immediately: Chapter 1… That gets me pretty far, but I usually end up going back and making so many changes. Now I’m more of an outliner. I do that first, then head to chapter 1 and jump around until it all fits together.

@Tikiri Herath yes! And yes, I think my stories have gotten better since outlining.

Slow traction doesn’t always mean a bad book
Something that helped me was realizing that slow traction doesn’t always mean a bad book sometimes it just means the book isn’t being found yet. That mindset shift changed how I approached publishing. Has anyone else had a moment like that?

Yes! I’ve found some amazing books by fellow indie authors that do not get enough hype! But marketing isn’t everyone’s jam and I think it gets intimidating trying to figure out how to do it!

@Tikiri Herath I haven’t. I’ve looked into some and they get expensive. Unfortunately, I haven’t had to budget for it.

Authors Question?
Hey fellow authors, What’s one book promotion tip you followed that didn’t work for your genre?

All writers & all genres welcome!
What genre is your current manuscript? Have you published before or will this be your first?
