First Cup of Coffee - March 19, 2021
A bit about openings today, what they need to include and how to make that precious real estate count. Also, how structure and plot arc can vary from book to book, along with thoughts on a series arc.

Nice parallel between Coco Chanel’s fashion advice and your advice for writing book openings.
I like that you don’t stick to a formula. It’s nice to change things up. Stella and Zeph seem like very different people so it makes sense plot-wise.
Ha! I didn’t even notice I did that. And yeah, formulas don’t seem to work for my brain either…
