In the first draft, an author should primarily focus on getting the story down on paper. Here are some key aspects to focus on: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Concentrate on the main storyline and ensure it has a clear beginning, middle, and end. Don’t worry too much about minor details or inconsistencies at this stage. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Introduce your characters and start fleshing them out, but don’t worry about fully exploring their backgrounds or motivations just yet. Focus on their roles within the story and how they interact with each other. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Establish the setting of your story, but you don’t need to delve into every descriptive detail just yet. Provide enough information to orient the reader, and you can refine the setting in later drafts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Write dialogue that helps move the story forward and reveals aspects of the characters’ personalities. Don’t worry too much about perfecting the dialogue in the first draft; you can always revise it later. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. Pay attention to the pacing of your story to ensure it flows smoothly from one scene to the next. However, don’t get bogged down trying to perfect the pacing in the first draft—focus on getting the basic structure of the story in place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 6. Experiment with different narrative voices and writing styles to find what works best for your story. Don’t be afraid to let your creativity flow, even if it means taking risks with your writing style. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 7. Allow yourself to be creative and explore different ideas without worrying too much about whether they’ll work in the final version of the story. The first draft is a time for experimentation and discovery. . . #writers #authors #affirmationforwriters #khloesthoughtsediting #tipsforwriting #writingtips #romanceauthor #blackwriter #keepwriting #bookeditor #writerbaes #editorbae #writer #writersofof #bookish #bookworm #writingadvice #adviceforwriters #authortips
