Here are 5 things I would do differently if I started my business today. Hint: None of them have to do with the specifics of what I did, and had everything to do with HOW I did it.

We talk about first drafts in such vicious and negative terms - but what if you like it? What if you're enjoying it?

As a special event, here's 1 scene (two people get into a car and drive somewhere) framed as 7 different kinds of scenes:

1. A dialogue scene
2. An action scene
3. An investigation/discovery scene
4. A dramatic scene
5. A comedic scene
6. A romantic scene
7. As a climax

The goal is show what each kind of scene needs and how best to write it.

Either all the steps you take count, or none of them do.

What's the point of a first draft? How can you look at it so that you're not setting yourself up for frustration or failure?

What are you doing today (or every day) to turn your fantasy into reality? What steps are you taking to help you get where you want to be?

Everyone's in such a rush to get to the end of the journey that they forget where they're at. Look down, you're only where your feet are. On that step of the process. Take it, then move to the next one.

So many writers what to do what everyone else is doing because they think that by doing it, they'll get the same results. You won't. You'll just exhaust yourself. Your journey is your own, and you can walk it in any number of ways.

Here's my challenge to you today - take a look at your writing routine. Is it helping you? Could it be changed? What could you do better? What parts of it are under your control and what parts aren't?
