Novel writing and publishing a book are often mysterious endeavors. In this video, I share my best creative writing tips, what writing software I use, why I always create novel outlines, and generally how the heck to write a book. This vlog was inspired by the writing advice of John Green, Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, Veronica Roth, and Suzanne Collins. Happy writing!
