A proposito di questo titolo
Today, we’re discussing advice I’d give to my younger author self.
First, start the story from the beginning. From the very beginning. From the very, very, very beginning. That was the advice given to me about 10 years ago or so. I was already two novels into this series, working on the third when one of my writing friends who was on path to be an editor noted that the core problem in the first story was that it was just too much for a first novel. There were too many characters. Too many character types. Too many concepts that didn’t get enough time and attention to be properly explained to the reader. I needed to back up. Slow the story down. And go from there. In 20 years of writing, it was the most useful tip I had received. I wished one of the many people in my circle that I’d had read the story would have told me that.
