Can’t wait for this to come out! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. My first three (unpublished) novels were just as you described: “wander[ing] a vast landscape”. I’m eager to learn more about your tried and true methods.

I simply cannot wait to read this book! It is going to be such a big help. I just *write* and my story builds itself, but I am always looking to sharpen and hone that, to make sure my storyline is flowing but not overflowing (I tend to do that). I have just started my first novel (finally!) after many years of online writing, essays, blog posts, opinion pieces, poetry, erotica, etc. It is a daunting task and I would love to have a look at this book to help me along. We can always learn something new; even those of us who have been writing since we could first hold a Crayon!

Any idea of a release date??
