This Little Book is a collection of suggestions and guidance to help a new writer through the process of writing the first draft. Starting the first draft of a novel or any kind of book can be daunting, particularly if you are not appropriately prepared. This Little Book is a guide to the tools you will need to use and the preparation required before you make that start. Once you are aware of what is needed and when you have adequately prepared yourself, you will know you are ready to make a start. In fact, you will almost certainly be eager to start and watch your book unfold
This book will tell you how to use your outline and your chapter outlines to the best advantage. Your chapter outlines are your most important tool. They will be your friend, your guide, and your map to your story. Use your map and you will not get lost.
It will also discuss the value of unleashing your creativity by ‘writing fast’ and not editing as you go. Writing and editing use different parts of the brain; you should not try to do both things at once. Write now, edit later. You will also be reminded of the need for continued planning and commitment. You need to maintain your motivation, and you must commit yourself to a time to write.
This Little Book assumes that you have done all the preparation and you are now ready to start the first draft of your novel or book.
If by chance you have not done the preparation steps, then I suggest you should look at Book 1 in The Little Book for Writers Series. It will show you how to prepare in six easy steps.
