There’s so much to the business of writing that goes far beyond putting words on paper (or into Microsoft Word).

Here’s few things writers tackle that may surprise you:

• Building a social media platform.  How to best develop one’s brand?  Facebook? Twitter? Website? What content and when?  How much time to spend on a particular channel?
• Studying the craft of writing: writing podcasts, articles, practice exercises, books on writing, and more
• Research:  Any number of questions develop, such as…
  • What’s fewest number of people in a plastic surgeon’s operating room?
  • What kinds of sensors are in the Oval Office?
  • How does one write active characters?
  • What would firefighters do in the event a multi-car crash if they’re working the scene?
• Structuring a Work:  What’s a hook? A midpoint?  Third person limited POV versus omniscient POV?  A dangling participle?  Showing vs. telling?
