How is the progress with your stories coming along?

We are nearing the end of week one and only the peer review, additional to the mentor feedback, remains now. By this point, major of you have already been contacted by the genre mentors, remaining will be added soon.

For today, the writers will be drafting bullet points for first ten chapters of their stories. Given that the first chapter has already been planned, even written, taking the direction forward will help in more clear idea about further plot.

This can be short summary about what all you have planned for the following chapters, or simple one liners ––what works for the writers.

Having clarity about next ten chapters not only give the confidence to the writers, a detailed layout also helps in battling the writer's block.

• Plan the further chapters, write short summaries, and discuss with your mentors about the "hook" & "eye-catching" qualities of the planned plotline.

Keep adding some words to your draft on a daily basis, even if mere 50 words, or 700 words.
