Author Alex Siegel shares a few words about his writing style and how he approaches his drafts. Take a look!
Words from Alex Siegel
I never begin a first draft until I have a complete outline in hand. In my experience, a strong outline makes the rest of the process relatively quick and painless. The outlining stage is where the intellectual heavy lifting happens. That’s where I solve the hard story problems. Fixing a broken outline is a hell of lot easier than fixing a broken novel after it’s written. I begin the outlining process with a single scene. It doesn’t have to be the first or the last scene. I just need an iconic moment that captures the mood and theme of the book as a whole. For example, in Eyes of the World (which will be published in July), the pivotal scene involved the protagonist giving the biggest speech of his life in front of a huge crowd. The tension in that moment is echoed through the entire novel.
