  • Happy Monday! Today's vlog focuses on proofreading the second book in my paranormal romance trilogy. 📚 It was a busy week, so I didn't get to film as much as I wanted, but hopefully next week will be calmer!

    Would you consider doing a vlog on your publication scheduling? Your calendar? It’s always great to see how others plan. Thx.

      Yes, absolutely! I'd be happy to! Thanks for the request :)

      @@NataliaLeigh Can I ask if you'll address how to manage overlapping schedules (publication and simultaneous drafting), i.e. how to prioritize/time management, etc.?

    I love the idea of the QR code!! Thank you! I'm totally yoink-ing that one.

    I’d love a video about creating a design brief? I’ve never worked with a cover designer but hope to soon, and this is the first I’ve heard of that

    OMGOSH! I never thought to do a QR code in the back matter. When you reach that point, would you do a video on how it works and stuff? Thanx in advance!

      Sure thing! I can do a mini tutorial on how I make QR codes if that would be helpful. 👍🏻

    Hi Natalia Leigh I loved your content I have two questions. I am a writer and I wondering does every chapter have to have conflict? And have you ever heard of reverse outlining? I have done this 😅 I have a character who is fun to write for while my other characters pov is harder. Maybe I would try the reverse outline technique 😁

    • @NataliaLeigh
      @NataliaLeigh  Рік тому +3

      Hi, Andrew! Thanks for the kind words! Conflict is important, obviously, but not every chapter has to have obvious conflict; what might help is asking yourself, "If I remove this chapter, would it impact the story?" If the answer is no, then that chapter isn't serving a purpose and would benefit from being cut or revised. And yes! I suggest reverse outlining to pantsers once they've finished their first draft. It can be super helpful!

    Hi Natalia. I am about to finish my first draft of a fanfiction. Could you do more videos on self-editing and revising to help me and other writers? I publish and write fanfiction since 2015, but I would like to improve in revision and self-editing. I have two beta readers, but I want my second draft to be as good as I can. Could you help me, please?
