Make a Solid First Draft
May 29, 2021 20:32 - 9 minutes - 9.1 MBLast week we started talking about revisions and how to get through your draft process. I gave you an overview of how to work through a revision in a way that makes sense so that you're not working against yourself the whole time. I gave you a free revision checklist and if you have not picked that up yet go ahead and grab that now. We are going to go in depth this week into the first item on that checklist which is making a solid first draft. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcaster...
Revision Checklist
May 23, 2021 02:32 - 8 minutes - 8 MBWe’ve been talking about drafting your novels and specifically about getting through multiple drafts of your novel (if that’s your jam). What we’re really talking about is the process of revising your novel. Revising sounded too much like editing for my liking when I first started doing it, and editing just sounds awful and scary when you don’t know what you’re doing. I started calling it writing another draft and that was somehow easier to initially bear than editing or revising. The good ne...
Personality Tests and Writing
May 17, 2021 03:26 - 9 minutes - 9.15 MBI thought I’d take a break from talking about drafting this week and talk instead about something that fascinates me, which is personality tests. I will make this writing related, since that’s what you’re here for. So we’ll talk about two personality tests I’ve taken and how they both hurt and help me in my writing career. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/author-rachel-cooper/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/author-ra...

Brandon Sanderson Drafting Method
May 03, 2021 02:18 - 5 minutes - 5.21 MBBrandon Sanderson is a writer who goes through many revisions. He talks about this over several years during his BYU class lectures on YouTube, and I wanted to distill his process down from several videos, which I will link at least one of them in the description for the podcast for anyone who wants to hear him talk about it more in depth. https://youtu.be/nKHLuGyjRi8 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/author-rachel-cooper/message Support this podcast: htt...

The Comparison Game
April 16, 2021 15:00 - 6 minutes - 6.46 MBThat voice inside of you that says that you are an utter failure and that you are and will never be that good? Kick it. It’s lying to you. That defeatist mentality can only set you up for failure and mask some very important truths. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/author-rachel-cooper/message
Are You An Intermittent Writer?
April 11, 2021 21:04 - 9 minutes - 8.5 MBDo you write in multiple sessions in a given day, squeezing in writing time in the in-between moments? Do you dictate on your morning run, feverishly use your phone to access your project when waiting in any line or for any reason, bring your laptop with you when visiting the in-laws, just in case they go to bed early and you can stay up to write? You might be an intermittent writer. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/author-rachel-cooper/message

Do You Write Every Day?
March 19, 2021 15:15 - 6 minutes - 5.97 MBDo you set daily or weekly writing goals, and consistently meet them? If you live and die by the idea that you have to write every day, you might be someone who writes slow and steady. Slow and steady writers will chunk out their work and try to reach a certain word or page count goal every day or every week. This type of novelist keeps a steady pace, pushing forward one step at a time. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/author-rachel-cooper/message Suppor...
Are You a Binge Writer?
March 12, 2021 11:00 - 7 minutes - 7.39 MBAre you a binge writer? There are a lot of bad connotations associated with binging anything. Perhaps you binge watch shows or you binge eat when you're stressed. Did you know you could also binge write? The hallmarks of a binge writer are people who get a lot of writing done in a small amount of time. If you write between school sessions, on NaNoWriMo, or participate in 10K days, you might be a binge drafter. Binge drafters generally work hard in short bursts. --- Send in a voice messag...
