Might seem trivial for some but for the first time I wrote a full chapter in a single day. That's around 3500 words! I've never accomplished that before and if I keep this up I'll have finished the first draft of what will hopefully be my next book by the end of the week. Still, there's a long way to go, but I genuinely feel happy about how the story is coming together. There are a few leaps in logic that I need to sort out, but I fixed most of them due to me doing a full chapter by chapter outline.
So there's my advice to anyone who happens to come across this who wants to write. Start with a basic outline, then start going over what you want to happen chapter by chapter. That way you can see what the basic story will be and how it will pan out. From there you can change things before you start writing, even the first chapter so that they work better. Works for me, or rather it seems to.
Feeling happier about things, even if people don't read my stuff on the Kindle.
