Like that’s the key to writing a novel. But they gloss over what to write.

If you’ve ever struggled with where to start your novel or what to write next, you’re not alone!

And the reason isn’t that you’re too dumb or “aren’t a writer.”

It’s because you haven’t developed your writing skills!

I know! I know! You’re trying to get those skills, and you’ve probably learned a lot of writing theory.

But you still haven’t been able to get that first draft done.

Because writing is hard.

Seriously. It’s not easy to write a book.

Next, it’s also a huge time commitment.

But most importantly, there’s A LOT of information out there. How do you sort through the noise? What’s important for just beginning?

The truth is…

Your first draft is not that time to worry much about theory.

Editing is where you’ll fix it up and make it stunning. And editing comes AFTER your first draft.

If you’ve been trying to worry about everything while writing, it’s no surprise that you’re getting overwhelmed.

Here’s what you need to know…

No first draft is going to be perfect.

This is why it’s important that you just write that first draft.
