Good activities to help make your “shitty first draft” less shitty:

Having a detailed outline.

Knowing your characters well.

Keeping a record of your character’s growth and goals.

Keeping a record of foreshadowing and plot developments.

Taking short breaks.

Coming back from short breaks.

Forgiving yourself for being an imperfect writer.

Bad, horrible, awful activities which will not make your “shitty first draft” any less shitty, but will absolutely make you sad and frustrated:

Being a perfectionist.

Perfectionism.

Trying to fix all your mistakes.

Not forgiving yourself for making mistakes.

Being a perfectionist.

Moral of the story: Don’t beat yourself up for having less then perfect writing skills. We all have much room to grow and we all need feedback from others before our story can become the best version of itself. A good story can take many, many drafts to get right, and while there are tricks to help you achieve this quicker, no one will ever have it perfect right away.

Keep trying to write better first drafts, but don’t fault yourself when they won’t turn out the way you want them too. 

Your first draft does not define your skill as a writer.

Your OC’s Backstory Week 1: William’s Family

See also: Intro

William’s grandfather emigrated from China to the U.S. with only a worthless ring and his infant son, a story the old man used to tell relentlessly. He worked on the railroads but was also a genius alchemist and used deception for money, but only enough to help his family survive. The magic knack was passed on to William’s father, who eventually brought so much innovation to the industry that he was given the railroad company. William’s mother and her family ran a small but powerful magical apothecary.

William was an only child mostly raised by his grandfather, as his parents did a lot of running around for their businesses. After his grandfather died, William traveled the country seeing all the sights the old man had wanted to see as a way of processing the loss and saying goodbye before joining his father’s company. Later, he married Clover, the mysterious and powerful thief who used to rob his trains (hint, hint, Area Man In Awe of His Amazing Wife). They currently have two children: William Jr. and Ying.

There is no shortage of love anywhere in this family. Because of them, William is deeply loving, stubborn, proud, a little bit cunning, knowledgeable with magic, loyal and protective, and has this adorable tendency to “adopt” pretty much anyone younger than him. 

That kid they’d moved to fireman duty, Danny, was sitting on one of the benches outside the bar with his head in his hands. He was too young to have had a drink, but he was curled up miserable enough to fit in with the other living hangovers to the right.

Slips knew Danny’d had a talk with upper management, so this probably wasn’t good. She cursed under her breath and headed over. “You alright?”

“I want a hole to open in the earth and swallow me,” Danny moaned. It didn’t look like he’d been crying. His face was beet red.

Slips frowned. “How’d the talk with the boss go?”

Danny buried his face deeper, making pained sounds as he went. Finally, after a few seconds of silence, he sighed, and his voice came out muffled and cracked: “I…I might’ve accidentally sort of not thinking about it called him ‘Dad’ by accident.”

Hello! I don't know if you already responded this or how to search for this so I wanted to ask: if I write in English but where I live publishers and editorials and readers only speak other language, how do I find a publisher that can help me to publish my book in other countries? It's possible? Or I have to translate it and just try it where I live? What alternatives exist?

Do you have to publish in your native language, or can you publish in English as well?

That's the good thing about the internet, you can reach English-speaking agents and publishers.

I know of an author from The Netherlands, who wrote a novel in English, got published in America, and afterwards her book got translated into Dutch. #goals ^-^
