Writing a story is not that much different from building a house. Both require some brainstorming (to provide a clear vision, a sense of direction), a blueprint or outline (to lay a solid foundation upon which that vision can be built), building or drafting (to make the vision a reality), and decorating or revising (to polish the resulting masterpiece and make it presentable to the public).In "From First Draft to Finished Novel", novelist Karen S. Wiesner carefully explores each of stages, as well as all of the individual steps within each stage. The heart of "From First Draft to Final Draft" focuses on how to turn an idea, outline, or early draft into a rich, textured story by layering different elements to create a cohesive, seamless novel.
