Thank you, Katja, for the excellent summary of all the steps to writing a great draft.
Thanks Cheryl, I’m so glad you found it useful!
Great tips on kidlet novel writing that I can use. I’ll check out the software as well.
Thanks Nancy! I hope you enjoy trying the software, and please do post about your kidlit concept on the Novel Factory Facebook community – I’d love to hear about it!
This was helpful as I want to write a story for an older age group. You gave me some great tools.
Thanks for your comment, Charlotte, and glad to hear you took some useful tools from it. Please feel free to post about your story idea on our Novel Factory Facebook group!
Thanks for an engaging presentation with lots of good information. I think you strike a nice balance between structure and creativity. I can see this being useful for writing and for revision as well.
Thanks for your kind words Robin! Yes, I sometimes think of myself as a recovering planner… I still plan tons, but I value letting things flow a lot more now 🙂
I appreciate your stating you can plan too much and being too rigid.
Thanks. I didn’t get to finish using the novel factory app some time ago with the novel I was working on. As it turned out I needed to drop the pantsing and go deeper on some structure, so many thanks for this talk.
