Book Writing Steps

 07Jun23

1. Stalk: Outline, conduct research, pray, take notes and read well.
2. Stun: Chop book into bite-sized pieces (chapters) and produce 1/3 of desired wordcount.
3. Slay: Synthesize outline, research and chapters into a completed rough draft.
4. Slice: Edit and redact rough draft and subsequent drafts.  Place rendered content in a burger pile.
5. Store: Decide how the book will be preserved and published: e-book, paperback, hardcover, etc.
6. Serve: Book sales, tour, marketing and distribution

Note: Writing a book is like dropping big game.  Seeing the quarry differs from sucking the marrow.

Think Roland in Season 7.
