I Finished My Writing Project! What’s Next?
Congrats, you’ve finished — now what? I suggest 11+ steps to follow here.
I entered into 2021 with a bold plan. I’d write and publish 6 novels this year.
As of last week — all six are written. I finished each book that I planned to write this year. There was a mixed, bittersweet feeling of sadness and elation at being finished.
I have, thus far, published the first book of my new Forgotten Fodder series. I am about to publish the third book of my Void Incursion series. Two down, four to go. Three more Forgotten Fodder books and one more Void Incursion novel in 2021.
Getting all that writing done is a big deal. Many people who have worked to be writers never manage to finish. If you count yourself among such people — don’t give up! Keep at it, keep working, and strive to finish.
Once you finish a work — that might be it. You’re done. You did it. Go you!
But if you’re like me — you intend to share that work.
That means there are steps to be taken up to, through, and after publishing. If you intend to share your work with the world — whether you will seek to self-publish or go the traditional route — there are steps along the way once you have finished your writing project.
