The Phases of Writing a Book No One Tells You About

Updated: Apr 19

The first chapter: This is going to be an awesome book! My characters are chatty, the plot is working, and everything is great.

The Doubt: I can't pull this off. What was I thinking? Everything I write sucks.



Pep-talk Time: You got this. I'm going to work on the scene I couldn't wait to write then everything will be great again.

The Slow-down: Writing is a sloooow process. It doesn't help that my characters took a little vacay.

Midpoint: I'm never going to finish this fucking thing.

The Struggle: I hate my life. The struggle is real.

I See Light: There's light at the end of the tunnel. My characters are chatting my ear off again.

The Climax: Ohhh! Yes! The build-up took forever, but it was worth the wait.

The End: You did it! Throw a party! It's celebration time.

Editing Time: Fuck my life.
