“Process matters to a writer. Make yourself a “cheat sheet” to use as you continue to work on your project. What did you do to get to where you are now?
What worked—was there a particular routine, revision technique, or daily snack? What were some of your biggest challenges? If you were to pick a theme song, what would it be? Was there a particular critique partner or mentor who really “got” your work?
Make a list and hang it on your wall!”
