HOW TO WRITE FICTION: Tools that help propel your story

So, you want to write a novel. There are many opinions out there on how to write fiction.

I know it can be overwhelming to know how to apply all that information to your story.  That’s why author coaching is helpful. As a writer, you just can't always see it all clearly. And clarity is really important when it comes to writing a book.

When I'm coaching authors, I get down into the trench of paragraphs and ideas with you and walk you through all the aspects of your story so that you have a compelling book by the time you're ready to publish.

Over the next few blogs, I’m going to guide you through my step-by-step process to flesh out a fiction novel from beginning to end. 

First, I highly recommend the Story Brand approach. It applies not only to books but to any story you're telling in your business.

According to Building a Story Brand, almost every story falls into this pattern:

"A CHARACTER who wants something encounters a PROBLEM before they can get it. At the peak of their despair, a GUIDE steps into their lives, gives them a PLAN, and CALLS THEM TO ACTION. That action helps them avoid FAILURE and ends in a SUCCESS." (Miller, 2017, page 20).

If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it.  You can try out the story script for freehere.

Here's what it looks like:
