Today’s Tip is about your book’s intent.
Once you know the intent of your book, every choice you make will depend on what you want your book to do.
Four questions to ask about your book to guide your decisions.
🔍 What do you want your book to do?
🔍 What is the purpose of your book?
🔍 How do you want your book to feel?
🔍 How do you want the reader to feel while reading the book?
Why the questions are important
I know. These are very abstract questions, but they will guide you when making decisions.
Let’s say you are about to write a scene, and you remind yourself you want your book to show how trust is essential. Then when you start to write your scene, that thought will be in your head, and the theme will have a better chance of being present.
This helps to make sure that what you write has a reason to be in your book.
