Start with Your Accordion Mostly Closed, Guest post at TheBookDesigner.com
This week I have a post up at Joel Friedlander’s The Book Designer site called “Start with Your Accordion Mostly Closed”.
It’s essentially how you can start your novel planning process with a tool that’s typically for book marketing: the Elevator Pitch. Take a read and tell me what you think!
In this way, you start with your accordion almost closed — just 5 elements to think about for your story.
