This is the 5th episode of my series where I try to write a book from first idea to final draft, and take you along for the ride. In this episode, I talk about making mistakes and first drafts, I then go onto to make some mistakes trying to come up with place names for my world, then I think 'stuff it' and go ahead and start plotting out the first quarter of my novel. By the end... I feel like I've got somewhere? Oh, and I discuss the importance of strong verbs in quests.
