My business plan’s introduction also serves me as a notes area where I can capture needed future advisors, tips, writing group advice, resources, and more.

Take a look.

Advisors and Resources

• Absolute Write forums
• Legal: TBD, e.g. literary attorney
• Financial: TBD
• Future: editor and cover artist
• Future: part-time assistant, professional or agents to handle foreign rights or movie right sales or other rights outside the realm of expertise for CindyRaeWrites.

Tips and Notes

From Sanderson’s video lectures

• Find what the books you love aren’t doing and do that

Writing groups

• Writing groups without proper conditioning can destroy your novel
  • Descriptive vs. proscriptive
    • A professional editor is proscriptive: “You should…”
    • Descriptive: “I’m confused here” vs. “You should add dragons”
  • Groups should be descriptive
• He has a local once-a-week writing group, submitting a chapter a week, perhaps alternating weeks as necessary
• Writing group where you’re all writing at the same level, maybe around 6 hours a week at least
• “Oh, this is the story you want to write.  We’ll help you make it better.”
