Video: Why you should plan your novel, even if you're a pantser

 

Sometimes life (and death) gets in the way. Don’t lose your great idea just because you didn’t capture it somehow. Even pantsers love my Planning Blueprint because it makes it super simple to plan out as much or as little as you like while leaving room to grow your story organically. Or use it AFTER you’ve written to work out any revision issues.

Make planning (and writing) your novel easy. Grab The Novel Approach Planning Worksheet for just $9 (AU). 

Or join my free Facebook group The Novel Approach for Aspiring Authors.

I’m also running a Novel Planning Intensive every Wednesday in May. You’ll work on your plan before and/or during the session. Every participant will get a chance to ask for advice on any part of their story where they are feeling stuck, or ask questions in general. Observer tickets are also available. Observers will get to see an overview of the Blueprint and how it works, but will leave the call before participants begin sharing. Interested? Contact me through my website for more details.
