Welcome to episode #26 of NOVEL MARATHON, a 26-episode podcast for writing the first draft of an 80,000 word novel over the course of a year. We’re reading: 1) THE ONE YEAR NOVELIST by L. M. Lilly, 2) STORY GENIUS by Lisa Cron, and 3) THIS YEAR YOU WRITE YOUR NOVEL by Walter Mosley. Want to join? Get the books and start with episode 1! In today’s episode we’ll recap the following writing prompts designed to help you create an outline for your next book:
#21: Who are the supporting characters in your book? Does each character in your book undergo a character arc of transformational change?
#22: Picture yourself in the coming year… What’s it going to be like to write your next novel? What will be the best thing and what will be the worst thing about it?
#23: Write a concise summary of your book? Don't give it all away, but hint at some of the obstacles your protagonist will face and overcome or be defeated by.
#24: In the summary you wrote, search for all the moments that challenged your main character and caused them to take action. Translate those moments into an idea list for future scenes.
#25: Congratulations! You have a pretty good idea of what your next novel will be about. Want to write it? Sign up for the free newsletter 💌 to get bi-weekly writing prompts:
