Episode 74: Taking Your Fiction Outside: The GO Method

Have you ever taken your dictation outside, come home with 200 garbled words, and decided walking and dictating just isn't for you?

Here's what actually happened: you changed modes, and a new mode is a new skill.

This week on The Confident Fiction Author, I'm sharing Taking Your Fiction Outside: The GO Method.

In this episode, you'll discover:

•  Why dictating outside is its own skill, even when you're comfortable dictating at your desk
•  How to separate the logistics from the story, so you're solving one problem at a time
•  What a sunrise on the beach in Galveston taught me about being ready to write outside

If you're doing Novel November, this is a good week to GO (Get Outside)! You may find an entire extra scene in a walk you were already taking.
