Well, I thought that I was going to be shuffling my scenes into order today, but I had another coaching request come in, so I’m facing yet another delay in the writing process. I know that once this busy season of summer passes, the coaching will go into hibernation until the next scholarship application season, but I feel guilty every time I have to share with you here that I have not made progress.
On the other hand, I did pick up a new writing advice book, Story Engineering, by Larry Brooks, after hearing Joanna from the Creative Penn mention it as the book that taught her to write scenes. That’s an area I’ve struggled with in the past, so if I can get a few pointers there before I start banging out the actual story of this novel, that would be perfect timing.
