The blurb testing strategy is really solid, and looks like it will see real data on the effectiveness of a particular blurb. Given how critical the cover and blurb are, this is a great tool to have to move your authoring bidness forward. Thanks, great interview!

been experiencing the "find your lane" right now LOL But keeping it all in the fantasy genre, different subgenres, trying to see what has more interest. Still writing books i'd enjoy reading though, i think it's important, considering how often i'll need to go through it before release XD

I'm writing my debut fantasy magic school series, rewriting the first book. What advice would you give to hustle through the tedious process of rewriting and self editing.

@BethanyAtazadeh Жыл бұрын
Great question! I'm also a fan of the first draft writing and don't love editing as much, but I think it's important to still take our time on it and make sure it's done well. Later in this video I asked Alessandra about editing so make sure to watch that portion for her tips on editing too, but I think getting outside feedback really helped me improve and speed up the editing process!

had to do that recently with the 3rd book in my main series, where it didn't feel like it was going in the right direction (moment of silence for the 50k words that got deleted forever) What helped me was not looking at the word count, starting the day by reading the last 3 pages i'd written, and allowing myself to stop, go back several chapters to add or subtract something. I also stopped frequently to take care of things on my ranch, making a set rule of "every 2 hours, i have to go outside for 10-15 minutes" helped me to mull over what i'd wrote so far and what still needed to get on the page. It was a nice way to give my brain a small break while also not fully checking out of the character/story trajectory idk if this will suit how your process works, but it helped me a lot. deadline? never met her (i had a deadline, but just went on like one didn't exist, and if i missed it then oh well). Took off a lot of pressure mentally

@@morleywritesbooks that's nice. My first draft of the first book in debut fantasy magic school series has over 1 lakh words, more than half is going to be re written, idk what to say for that. It's my first book so overwhelming is tricky to handle sometimes. I don't have a said deadline but I'm trying to put myself on with a little pressure so that I let go of my lazy self and get things done. I hope I publish my book this year
