In this video, I go over my 8 Layer process of writing a novel. I explain each one and give examples and tips on each layer. This strategy prevents an author from writing chapters that will be lost due to changes, and it prepares a story structure and scene outlines for when the "author" shows up.
If you want to skip head, below are the time stamps of where each layer begins:
Layer 1 - 1:00
Layer 2 - 6:30
Layer 3 - 7:10 (Scene outlines)
Layer 4: 9:40 - (Down and dirty first draft)
Layer 5: 12:40
Layer 6 - 16:00
Layer 7 - 18:00
Layer 8 - 21:30
