PREPARING TO WRITE: Doing the Advance Work

Today we celebrate the beginning of Bits & Bytes' third month. We've covered several different topics in the past two months and hope we have been able to help writers, even in some small way. We've certainly been learning a lot!

To make things easier to understand, we wanted to start with the basic information a writer would need to begin the journey of writing a book and having it published. That journey is, for most, a long one, but it can be made easier and shorter when information is available, and that's what we hope we're doing in some small way. Some things we've discussed may be revisited in the near future, but if there's anything special a blog visitor or a member would like to discuss, please let us know in the comments section!

For the first half of this month, we'll be discussing some of the things that can be done before the actual writing and even story planning of a book, novella, or short story. Some topics fall under several labels, so over the next two weeks, we plan to only begin to present an abundance of topics and will continue with more in the future, so stop back often!
