My four steps for writing fiction, backed by reader data:
1. Do the @Our100Stories Challenge on @Medium
2. Test crazy ideas daily
3. Use Gmail to collect the best
4. Let comments guide your evolution of that winning idea
That moment when you realize you scheduled a chapter last week and now, at the last minute, you have nothing to do but keep writing ahead.
Surprise wins. 🐢

Readers:
"Great intrigue you’ve built here!"

🤦♂️ I was doing it wrong.
I had to flip my business upside down. 🙃
And do the obvious first:
1️⃣ Write the fiction
2️⃣ Build the business
3️⃣ Share the journey
I was doing the opposite.
Which is dumb and counterproductive.
Here's why 👇

Fiction writers looking to go pro 👋
Do me a tiny favor?
Answer one question:
What's a tech, next step, platform or writing obstacle you need help with?
Researching topics to write on.
Asking for a friend is fine 👍
