Today, we were really lucky to have a workshop with the author John Coy. He gave you some really good advice on the writing process. I couldn't believe that one of his books took SIX YEARS from start to finish. It took such a long time for a number of reasons:
- Research
- Writing
- Drafting
- Editing
- Illustrating
- Publishing
- Re read it again and again
- Ask people to check it
- Add more description
- Look at it from a different perspective
- Add detail and make it more interesting (Change boring stuff for interesting stuff)
- Look at another angle
- Change the plot
