do THIS before writing the first draft of your book ✒️✨ cozy and *realistic* writer chat

in which I share the key questions I use in the early stages of drafting a book! these questions cover story, character, plot, theme as well as HOW you will write your draft including goals, motivation and productivity.

these questions have transformed how I write and I've seen SO MUCH improvement in my drafts since using them.

I hope they can help you too!

until next time,
