| Which is your hardest stage of writing? And easiest?
|
|
| | | I turned my novel into my proofreader this week and my brain is a bit mushy; and that's why I didn't send out a newsletter last week; I was on deadline. (Into The Black, on preorder now, and drops Mays 21st.)
I did manage to make a 1-minute creativity tip for you on the hardest part, for me, of the creative process.
Three phases of the creative process: - the beginning phase -- probably my favorite and the easiest (idea bunny here!)
- then the middle phase -- I like doing the writing and the editing, but wrangle with it every step of the way
- then the finishing phase -- finalizing the book and letting it go (my hardest part!)
Check out the 1-minute video here or click on the image:
What's your hardest phases and easiest phase of the creative process?
How are you doing? I’d love to hear!
