When you've finished a chapter, you no longer have to guess what to write next. You look at your scene outline and get started.
It also allows you to see your book at a glance and see if it's working. This saves you having to rewrite pages and pages when you suddenly realize two-thirds of the way through the book that you need another character.
Call to Action:
Create an outline.
Use the three-act structure and other algeria telegram screening storytelling tools to develop the plot and characters.

As Dori says: “Just swim, swim, swim…”.
If you have prepared well in step 5 (outline), now it's time to just write. Let your inner perfectionist die word by word.
No matter how awful it seems to you. No matter how deeply you doubt yourself. You have to get to the end . Because a bad first draft can be improved. What can't be improved? Hot air.
