I think the biggest revelation was when I realized I could use my own plotting structure instead of trying to force myself into existing models. I studied a bunch of them and developed my own 6-part structure that works for my brain and my preferences. (1/2) #pretendpanel

The biggest by far was the one that motivated me to get into the biz, that without an audience I was a daydreamer not a storyteller.
Then later at a workshop we examined contrast rather than conflict and that's really helped me build strong characters.

The revelation that had the biggest impact on my writing (and my career) was the decision to stop sitting on the fence and go "all in" on indie-publication. That one decision unlocked my imagination and gave me freedom.

I'm pansting. There are always huge revelations that I never saw coming, and sometimes they are so intense, that I might just pace the room and curse, or sit in disbelief, or cry, or... I never know what's coming and it's a rush and a thrill,a storm of emotions when that scene unfolds.

I started writing the novel I'm about to query as a dual POV, and ended up eliminating the one POV entirely. If' I'd left it in the manuscript would have been about 180K words, which I think is absurd, so I don't regret taking it out

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

This is the longest thing either of us have ever written, so it's hard to compare! We are on draft 3 of book 1, meaning the plot of it is being worked on for the third time. Every chapter ends up getting multiple drafts within each book draft.
