#WritingProcess

Writer's ultimate headache: mapping out a branching story tree! 🤯 Arrows, cards, and conditional logic everywhere. Balancing the detective path with gothic horror requires being an architect and a psychologist at once. #AmWriting #WritingProcess #AuthorProblems #Plotting

✨ STEP 3: CHARACTER TRANSFORMATION ✨ I document how the character changes from the beginning to the end of the story. Defining their starting point, destination, and the pressures that shape them helps me build an arc that grows from their experiences. 1/2

How will your protagonist be different by the final page? #CharacterArc #CharacterTransformation #WritingProcess #AmWriting 2/2

✨ STEP 5: THE WHOLE STORY ✨ Once the characters take shape, I work out the theme, main conflict, and other essentials. By the end of this step, I can craft a logline and see what the story is truly about. 1/2

Can you describe your current story in one sentence? #StoryDevelopment #Logline #WritingProcess #AmWriting 2/2

✨ STEP 7: SET NARRATIVE ORDER ✨ Once the chronology is clear, I decide the order in which readers experience events. I choose where the story begins, where flashbacks fit, and when each revelation hits hardest. 1/2

Where does your story need to begin for maximum impact? #NarrativeStructure #StoryStructure #WritingProcess #AmWriting 2/2

I just sold a picture book for 2026, which sounds like an imaginary year, but someday it will be real. #PictureBooks #publishing #writingprocess #writingcommunity #authors #MargaritaEngleBooks

I know that many of you count words, but I need simplicity. One poem per day is my only goal. #writinglife #writingprocess #poetry #versenovel #childrensbooks #youngadultbooks
