Boost Your Fiction Projects with Prewriting

8 Fun and Productive First Steps to a Completed Work​

Greetings. As a long-time writer and explorer of prewriting techniques, I decided to share some strategies that could help us all move forward when that inspiration to create on paper strikes.

Modules included in this course:

  1. The 'foolscap method' [based on work by Steven Pressfield.]
  2. A recap of James Patterson’s approach to outlining. [I paid $95 for his master class. Good, good investment.]
  3. Mind Mapping/Brainstorming
  4. Use of concept lists [Here is one with the theme of 'surprise/the unexpected'.]
  5. Character Interviews
  6. Interviews with yourself as an author
  7. Using image searches to help you visualize characters, settings, and even plot points in your story.
  8. Using online video as a prewriting tool

Also included:
Videos demonstrating my use of these strategies.
Writers' quotes and insights into prewriting.
