I’ve tried a few ways of writing books over the years, and believe me, it’s been a tumultuous cycle of trial and error that’s seen some drafts completed and others (more recent) scrapped halfway through conception. And I’m still trying to find what works best for me.
In hindsight, and with a few projects under my belt, it’s clear that this writing malarky is a delicate and complicated formula that requires varying degrees of foundational work dependent on each author and their chosen genre.
