AWJ #4: Down To The Nitty Gritty

Filed Under: A Writer's Journey, Author News Tagged With: Podcast, Writing

writing podcast logoIn this episode we discussed the four questions you need to ask yourself about your novel and why they are so important. These are questions that you should be able to answer regardless of whether you’ve only written three chapters or have finished a rough draft:

Is this plot realistic but not obvious?

What is the conflict?

What makes your story unique?

What kind of response are you expecting from readers?
