#WritingTipWednesday - Giving Each Question An Answer.
What’s watching Josh Taylor? Find out here: https://books2read.com/blackbirch1 (clickable link in bio).
Yesterday I started a new outline for my 2017 draft of #Blackbirch 4. While the overall plot still works, there are elements that need to be added to bring the story & characters in-line with the preceding 3 books. Once I have those details worked out, I’ll then start a re-write as my writing style is different now too. Have you ever re-written a completed MS from scratch? Do you have any tips for me?
