Chapter Two: Sketching a Concept

🙆🏽‍♀️ Yep, Time to Limber Up Again:

Remember, in Chapter Two, you don't have to complete all of the Do the Work videos and their activities. Choose the one that seems like the best doorway for you into your book concept.

If you really want to try more than one, you're welcome to do so. How many you complete is up to you, but don't get stuck here ... the goal is to move onward into that novel of yours!

✍🏼 Then, Do the Work:

How would you like to build your story concept? Do you tend to like to think about character, world-building, plot, or theme first? Start with whichever approach best fits your style, and also feel free to try more than one if you like. Toggle one of the options below for the video.

IMAGINE A WORLD FOR YOUR STORY
START WITH AN INTRIGUING CHARACTER
COME UP WITH AN APPEALING PLOT IDEA
START WITH A BIG IDEA AND THEN BUILD ON YOUR THEME

💦 Don't forget to cool down:

Capture your ideas from one or a collection of the activities you tried in this chapter. By writing down the big picture, plus any important details, you'll have all of these insights you gained today to return to and to build upon.

Don't worry, you can always change your mind later!
