The Writer’s Roadmap - Carlisha Writes & Co.
Hi, I'm Carlisha Powell
A Guide to Crafting Your Story! Whether you're starting from scratch or refining an idea that's been lingering in your mind, this manual is designed to walk you through every stage of the novel-writing process-from brainstorming to publishing.
This guide follows the same structured approach I used while writing my psychological thriller, Falling Confetti. As you progress, you'll find sections covering plot development, character arcs, world building, and revision strategies, all with practical exercises and examples.
––––––––
How to Navigate This Manual:
Follow the Sections Step by Step - Each chapter builds upon the last, offering insights and activities that help you shape your story organically.
l.Use the Slab Categories as Your Blueprint - These structured elements will help you organize your ideas, outline effectively, and develop a compelling narrative.
Apply the Exercises to Your Work-in-Progress - Whether you're jotting down fresh ideas or refining a completed draft, the included exercises are designed to push your creativity forward.
Personalize Your Writing Process - No two writers work the same way. Take what resonates, skip what doesn't, and come back to sections when needed.
Think Beyond Writing - This guide isn't just about crafting a story; it's about preparing your novel for the world. You'll find insights into self-editing, formatting, and even marketing-essential steps I took in self-publishing Falling Confetti.
Most importantly, remember: every great book starts width an idea, but it's the process that brings it to life. Let's get started!
