How I begin writing a new book

 


Starting to write a new book can be a difficult process but I like to think I have it pretty down packed now. 

Once I have an idea I like to start by writing a rough plan; now this isn’t by what I want to happen in a chapter nor is it an actual book plan but more an outline of the key points of the story. 

For example I’ll share with you the plan I had for one of my finished projects. 

The hybrid mate is about a young girl named () whose family was killed by vampires at her birthday party when she was () she spent many years training to kill vampires but sadly she was mated to a half vampire half werewolf called (). 


Throughout the book you watch as () grows to love her mate, and even falls pregnant although cursed by a witch in her pregnancy. 


As you can see it’s more a rough blurb and then I will come up with my characters and start writing; my first draft is never perfect but it is just getting my book idea good enough on paper that I can rewrite it and edit it to perfection.


How do you start writing your books? Are you a pantser? Plotter or something in between like me.
