The Authorpreneur Podcast - Writing & Self Publishing Tips
The Authorpreneur Podcast™️ is hosted by Mystery Author Amelia D. Hay. Every second Saturday, Amelia will teach you how to develop a story idea, create compelling characters and outline your novel.
In each season of the podcast, you will learn how to write your first draft, revise your story, self-publish, establish your author platform, and reach readers. Season one of the podcast is on Plot and Story Structure, and season two documents her writing adventures during her first year after self-publishing her debut novel. The current podcast season is about how to outline and the pre-writing phase.
Once a month, in the Behind the Scenes Podcast Diary, Amelia shares her adventures with writing and self-publishing.

TAP043, A Tale of Two Novels: My Experience Writing into the Dark
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In February, I finished writing the Locked Room into the Dark, and I'll discuss how I achieved this, along with the response of my favourite beta reader. As you've come to expect, I will share my writing stats, days, time, word count and the step-by-step process that I used. Now that I've mentioned that, it's crucial that I point out that I'm following Dean Wesley Smith's Writing Into the Dark method, which he teaches in a course and in a book. I highly recommend that you check out both of these options if you're interested in learning how to discovery write.
Without further ado, let's get into the episode.
