It doesn’t matter if you create an outline or write by the seat of your pants; you must have a method to keep track of how time passes in your book. It could be a calendar, a list of dates, or something similar. This will help with your pacing and maintain the realism of your story, whether it’s real or fictitious.

Funny enough, it was reading fanfiction. n middle school, I came across a lengthy fanfic that continued a series I had loved as a kid. The author had done such an incredible job that I could see it being published. That’s when it hit me—I could do the same, but with my own story. From there, I started thinking about the kind of story I’d want to read, and that’s how The Faedom Chronicles was born.
I am a hardcore PLOTTER. When I wrote the first draft of The Faedom Chronicles by the seat of my pants, I ended up discovering a major plot hole around 300 pages in, which meant scrapping the entire story and starting over. After that experience, I never pantsed again.
Thankfully, if I'm having issues with writer’s block, I just switch over to drawing. It gives my writer’s brain a rest and allows me to see the story in a different light.
Absolutely, I can't imagine life without music, especially when I'm writing. I have different playlists for various moods to help me get into the writing zone. If a playlist includes songs with lyrics, they need to be ones I'm familiar with, so the words don't distract me.
Using my artistic talents to paint a scene with words.
Internal dialogue, mainly because I often forget to add it in. I’m also not the biggest fan of sticking to a word count.
