I didn’t like the way it was going, so I searched for ideas. I found Jed Herne, a fantasy author and YouTube personality. I found his free writers’ workshop that included an outline template. I formed my own outline based on his, but that was a game-changer. Maybe I’ll share that template if anyone is interested. Anyway, I highly recommend listening to Jed and checking out what he's up to. https://jedherne.com/

I’m going to be more present on social media to try to get more help with my book. Keeping everything as close to historically accurate as possible is my goal. So, I figure that I’ll reach out to the experts out there.

I have a nearby spot with proper lighting, audio levels, temperature, and unlimited iced tea refills. When I am at my spot, the creative flow is limitless, and I will spend hours there, sometimes four or five times a week. I mostly write in my journals, proofread, and take notes, but I will also bring my laptop. I’ve tried several other spots, but nothing comes close to my one creative spot. Now, I have to put it all together.

Your spot can be anywhere—in your house, your backyard, or at a park. It could be at a restaurant, a coffee shop, or a library. Wherever your creative spot is, don’t be afraid to use it.
