Time to Write Week 37

Group 1: Edits chapter 17

Group 2: Writing Chapter 37

Group 3: Writing Chapter 17

New challenge for the coming week. Stick to your one hour a day all week as you have been but in the coming week escape for one hour to a library or a new place at home and bring only your writing notebook and a pen, highlighter and sticky notes..

Spend this hours with not computer or laptop going through your planning notebook from the start. Read every detail of what you have added from day one. 

Use the sticky notes to jot down new ideas of what you need to save, delete, or make better. Jot down where your story is weak. Where your story is strong. 

Spend time thinking about where you are in your story. Is the story arc happening as you imagined? Is the plot coming together? Is there suspense and conflict and a lot of it? Jot down where you need work. 

Then Spend time on each character. Are you writing about their goals, motivations and conflicts. Do you see characters growing...character arc. They cannot be the same person they started as by the end of the story. Show that to readers. Make it clear. 

Time inside your head on your story with pen and paper can really help you push the story to be better. 

Now go to it! Get an hour planned!!
