Great chat Deb! Loved hearing about Sandy's travels. I lived in a Southern Cypriot wine village, in the vineyard for over eight years - loved the tasting sessions! Ah, deadlines and edits, the author's favourite words! Not. Time Buddy sounds useful! Andi is really supportive, have fun meeting her, Sandy!

What a beautiful commute to work. 🍂🧡 I was extremely interested in what you were saying about not all ideas can be books. I am wondering at what point you decide an idea is not going to work as a full novel? Do you write out a synopsis or a type of mind map? Or do you just start writing it as a story with the knowledge that it might not be a book worthy idea and never come to fruition? Or do you pitch it to your publisher? I have lots of ideas written down, quite a few scenes, and can sometimes write 4000 words in one go (of course it might just be a load of waffle or nonsense😄) - I keep going back to them all but I'm not sure if I'm convinced they can't develop/work as a full novel, or if it's just the voice of self-doubt!🤔
@DeborahCarrAuthor
@DeborahCarrAuthor 14 күн бұрын
I write out an outline for my books but they're short so not much detail. I think if there isn't enough story in an idea to sustain a book there are ways to make it work eg, add another strand, or a subplot, maybe take the story in a different direction to an original idea, or maybe add an antagonist to add extra conflict for the protagonist. I wish I could write 4000 words today, that's a wonderful amount! You're probably just suffering from self-doubt, I have that with every book I write. Just keep powering through. Good luck!

I'll have to post about it at some point.xx

Thank you so much, I hope you enjoy An Island at War. It is odd especially more so since I've been researching and writing historical fiction.
