Episode 64: There's No Wrong Way to Dictate Your Fiction (A=DRAFT Framework)

If you've been doing your dictation reps and wondering, "wait, am I supposed to watch the words appear, or close my eyes, or not look at a screen at all?" this episode is for you.

This week on The Confident Fiction Author, we're on week three of my D.R.A.F.T. framework series with A=Approach, and the first answer is going to take some pressure off: there is no right or wrong way to dictate your fiction.

In this episode, you'll discover:

•  Why the authors who quit dictation usually aren't failing at dictation, they're failing at the one approach they knew to try
•  The three roads into your story world, with the pros and cons of each
•  The one habit that protects you when you stop watching the screen
•  Why I wrote my first nine books on one road, switched roads for several more, and have now gone back to where I started
•  How to choose your starting road, and why switching later is growth, not inconsistency

By the end, you'll know which road to take for your next session, with full permission to try all three.

Listen to the episode or read the blog-style version on my Substack here. 

And if you want a tool where all three roads are built in, my app Fictate was designed specifically for dictating fiction authors, and it's out of beta and open to everyone! There's a free trial waiting for you at fictateapp.com.
