How do you Draft?
I draft my novels chronologically, which can be very frustrating. Unfortunately, if I try writing out of order, I get very lost in my plot, and it becomes a mess. The first step for me is figuring out how my story ends. Since storytelling is a series of events based on cause and effect, I have to know where I want to end up before I can figure out how to start. Then I work backwards. I plot the story from the end to the beginning, usually following the 3 Act Story Structure from Abbie Emmons on Youtube. Once I have something between a sentence and a paragraph for each plot point, I start writing from the hook, to the inciting incident, through to the end of the book... chronologically. That's my first draft.
