The Writer Who Keeps Restarting
I want you to imagine something. It's six months from now. You open your manuscript. 🗒️ And it's sitting in the exact same place. This hasn’t happened because you don’t care or that you’re not talented. No, underneath that is when you would sit down to work on it, something felt off. So you adjusted the outline. Reworked the opening. Started questioning the idea. 💡 Again. And again. And again. Many writers think restarting means they're improving. But sometimes, it means they're circling. ⭕️ 👉 How many times have you restarted this book?📕 Drop your number below.

I've restarted book 1 of my trilogy every time I make a change to book 2 or 3... Or whenever a character decides to go off and do something I didn't tell it to 🙃

@Dani Rosenblad James Yes, my ideal reader is always in my mind, you're right that's so important for direction. Otherwise the squirrel jumps into the story and runs off with it on a tangent🤣 I originally wrote this as a 50k word middle grade novel, several agents requested the full MS and three came back with exactly the same advice: write three shorter (15k-20k) chapter books from this that will appeal to younger readers. So I've been reworking the original book into that trilogy, and I'll requery those agents again when they're done. I want to wait until they're finished and polished as I tend to leave my writing in a drawer for long periods while I'm focusing on the business sometimes and I don't want to end up with an agent-imposed deadline that doesn't suit me right now.

I live on a Christmas tree farm in Somerset, UK, with my dog, Sox. I love walkies on the beach, a nice cup of tea, and writing books.
