I’m an award-winning self-published author of paranormal thriller books. My book "The Love Trials" is an enemies to lovers thriller about a serial killer who forces lovers to play games designed to break their love and accidentally takes a pair of enemies instead. I won the Grand Prize at the 2023 Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards for They Stay, and have written four more books in the completed series. There is no one way to write a book. I’m a strong believer that the only way to develop your own writing process is by trying a bunch of different methods to find out what is the most helpful to you. In my videos, I share how I approach every stage in my writing process, from brainstorming to editing, in the hope that it could give you something to try that could help you level up as a writer. I share techniques that have improved my own writing so you can see if the same strategies help you. - 0:00 Opening thoughts 0:25 WHY don’t I want to write? 2:39 - Problem - I’m tired 4:50 - Problem - I’m distracted 6:25 - Problem - I’m not excited about my story 9:42 - Problem - I’m scared I’m messing up a scene 12:00 - Problem - I’ve used my brain too much 16:00 - Know when to push yourself 18:00 Closing thoughts
