    I made a Google Drive version of @Held for Ransom's link to a beat sheet for romance novels. Should be able to access it here and then make a copy for yourself to edit.

    I'm very much a plotter. An over-thinker all too often. Those "beat sheets" are very helpful, thank you for the added value! I tend to think that will save me tons of time. Also, I wrote on your public profile page because I don't know how to PM people. Do you still use that research tool you...

    @Held for Ransom, Thanks for that input! I'm working on a novel, and read somewhere that it's a good idea to answer Who, When, What, Why and Where. But also have a timeline in order to understand how everything will work out in the novel. So far I'm only 3000 words into my very first novel...

    Today was day one of writing. I'm proud to say I was inspired enough to write nearly 3000 words! Perhaps I'll write more tonight.

    COSenior, What's your goal for words per day? What do others do? I've read that some crank out 3000 words / day, which could make a 20,000 word novella accomplishable in close to a week.

    I'm starting on a self-publishing world conquest as well, so I'm right where you're at. Perhaps a bit further behind as I only just started writing today, but I'm already up past 1000 words! It's good to hear about others who are starting as well, I think it keeps us all motivated. Keep going...

    COSenior, Before I dig in to those answers, allow em to answer the first few questions. I have thought considerably about the business side of things. I intend to write fiction. I've chosen a sub-genre as well, and it appears to currently be trendy. I have also bought and have been reading...

    Hey Fastlaners, I'm just starting out, having recently read TMF and finding this forum. I've been greatly inspired to begin self-publishing through Amazon but I'm curious about a few things. I understand the main point is writing. To continue churning out new books. Consistency. But before I...

    INTRO 
    Just wanted to say hello. I read a post on Reddit that suggested TMF as a great book. I read it, found this forum and registered. I normally would lurk for a while but I'd like to come clean about myself. I doubt myself to a certain extent. I'd love some feedback/advice so that I can work...
