I’m so excited for this video, because it’s the most in-depth and specific I’ve ever gotten in explaining how I go from a spark of an idea to a full-length novel.

30:20 Final Thoughts
- pair the most dramatic genre moments with the big plot points
Ideas for brainstorming scenes:
- imagine imagery
- imagine the character going through their life
- what are the obstacles between the pair?
- when is their first kiss?
- when do they tell each other they love each other?
Make sure you know the hook of the scene, and the outcome of the scene to work towards as you write
After writing each scene, check in with your outline and see if it needs an adjustment / another scene inserted
