About

Let’s get to it: writing a novel is hard. This I know after struggling for many years. This blog is about sharing what I’ve learned, on what processes have made it easier, in the hope I can help someone else.

First Draft Shuffle aims to be cross-Genre, so no eternal ramblings on creating the right sort of magic or on the construction of the classic literary sentence. We’ll cut away all  irrelevant Genre talk and concentrate on the similarities. After all, Genre is for after you’ve written. Just write, then worry about Genre.
