I have the same question, did you figure this out?
@annkroekerwritingcoach13 сағат бұрын
Hey, sorry for the delayed response-I did have to buy each version of the book, because the audiobook doesn't appear as a text version without purchasing the ebook version. I only have two books where I have multiple versions, usually because I grabbed the ebook on sale.

Im struggling planning my characters plot etc.like I don't know how to put them into the paper from my mind, does it mean I'm a panster?
@AnnKroekerАй бұрын
@@JarelHines-p4b It sounds like you might be a pantser, but it’s also hard to take what (who) is in our minds and bring it (them) to life on the page, whether you’re a plotter or pantser. Consider writing a profile of the characters, with backstory. And you can find a photo that feels like it “fits” them. Some people create AI-generated art to represent their characters (just for themselves, for ongoing inspiration). And if you know your book’s genre, you can map out the major plot points to know what you’re working toward-minimal plotting but enough to send your characters forward toward an obstacle or challenge.

I found this interesting thank you however, I thought trauma informed practice for a memoir would be primarily about protecting themselves against being traumatised by writing their story.
@annkroekerwritingcoach2 ай бұрын
That's a good point...this is presenting the idea of trauma-informed writing from the role of the author/writer to keep their readers' trauma in mind while writing but what a great idea to present a follow-up about how to write and protect ourselves from being traumatized by the memories. I always urge my clients to ensure they have an excellent therapist to work through anything that gets intense and indeed, when the memories start to stir up anything, stop. Don't go in alone if you're at risk. But I'm not a trauma-informed coach. In fact, that's why I want them to have at least one other partner in the process. Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment!

originally, I was working on just this 1 book, when I start to go to structure, the book does not make sense after I read it. After multiple attemp, and restructure it, to make it work. it turn out to be 13 books and 2 series. 1 main book ( Intro-book ), 6 books in Days series, 6 books in Night series. it turn out to be a system, and it's not just a book any more. this process took my 8 yrs to get it this far.

I cross post my website essays on Medium for greater discoverability and exposure, because it seems website blogs today get zero traffic. But Medium seems to be dying. I experimented with Substack, but hated their comment system and the feeling that there was always a middleman between me and my readers. So I went back to my website and Flodesk newsletter. Also, I adopted a patronage model (PayPal) on my site similar to Marginalia, and much prefer it to the subscription model with its pressure to produce. Readers donate whatever they want, or not at all.

I'm doing something interesting. I have a book list in notion I'm also writing my first book, which I later plan to make into a series. I gave ChatGPT my story's premise and asked for books that could help and inspire me . In another ChatGPT conversation, i take the description of the book, and then I put my story's premise and how each book can help and inspire me for my series Can I go to the book in my notion book and find the book in my list or add it to my list Then I take the description from Amazon put the description in the book The under that I put my story's premise Then under that I take the notes that ChatGPT gave me and put them in each book I have in my notion book list. So when I read from now, I'll find a book in my notion list and check to see if I have any notes for that particular book.
