For those that have been following my blog recently you’ll know that I have signed up for the on-line master class series by the best-selling thriller writer James Patterson. Now, thrillers are not my thing but the guy has sold millions of books world-wide so knows a thing or two about writing successful commercial fiction. I’m nearing the end now so what’s changing.
Well I never was a great planner, I tended to write and then see where it took me, which I know works for some people. However, I think especially for the self-publisher that planning of every scene can add real value. We perhaps can’t afford the luxury of in-depth and repeated editing. So working on those scenes, the order, the twists and the impact, in detail before you start the writing I think is a winner.
