\"Solar<\/a> Hope you’re well and had a chance to witness the eclipse this week, live or online.<\/p>\n

I only caught a sliver of the partially eclipsed sun through the Oakland fog and it was marvelous.<\/p>\n

This brings me to my topic for today on the essential ingredients for writing and editing your novel.<\/p>\n

First Essential Ingredient<\/h2>\n

The first ingredient for me is awe — finding the joy and wonder in everyday occurrences and in rare ones — like an eclipse that the whole country gets to experience over the course of 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

Moments like these and ones more mundane, like being wowed by the bright orange nasturtiums in the neighbor’s yard, make me pause, and feel, and appreciate being alive.<\/p>\n

I want to bring that beating pulse of aliveness into my stories. I want to make my characters come alive and breathe inside my readers.<\/p>\n

Second Essential Ingredient<\/h2>\n

The second essential element is a sense of spaciousness.<\/p>\n

I need to feel like I have all the time in the world when I sit down to write or edit.<\/p>\n

If I feel the clocking ticking or my other tasks crowding my attention, I feel cramped and have a hard time focusing.<\/p>\n

I create a sense of spaciousness by doing a few things: deciding to work on my book for a set amount of time or pages, estimating how much time that will take at a regular pace, and then adding in an extra hour, if I can.<\/p>\n

Third Essential Ingredient<\/h2>\n

A third essential ingredient is planning. If I don’t have a plan, I feel stressed, irritated, and avoid working on my book.<\/p>\n

I need to know what I’m doing each day, whether it’s focusing on a read-through, or a deep edit of 2 pages, or drafting brainstorming notes on a heroine’s character arc.<\/p>\n

What are your essential ingredients for writing and editing your novel? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Post your reflection in the comments! I’d love to know.<\/p>\n
