Edit and eliminate TWI text

This means that when you read through a chapter, like the Prologue, you get what it is saying. Those paragraphs you know or are not relevant to you and your story, you cut out. You always have the original to refer to if you want this text again. This takes a lot of words away, leaving for you only what is essential. You can modify what you keep and add to it yourself. This is your Story-Plan for this particular chapter.

Summary: build writing habit


This means the above. Have you noticed how almost every well-published writer always writes the same book, content only being different? They have unconsciously and consciously developed a thorough writing-formula which they refine and use over and over again to produce their best-sellers. Here TWI teaches you the formula:

Writer = Wonderful story idea = Computer = Organizing software = Writer's interface = Structure and craft knowledge = Craft learning = Unique story plan = Written text = Revised story plan = Revised text = Completed story = Novel or play or memoir = Publishing and distribution = Writer with a following = Affirmation and money = Love of writing!

Writer questions - Are we OK with this? Are we committed? Are we ready to work? Do we have the right support? Where is page 1, 20, 265, The End?
