5 Hacks When You're Lost Writing a Chapter

from The Writing Podcast · host Dave Goetz and Melissa Parks

You're not a writer if you've never been absolutely lost while working on a piece, whether a blog, an article, or, especially, the chapter of a book. Writing is thinking in motion. You may have not thought about your idea in this way before, until you laid down that sentence. In this episode, we offer up what amounts to five writing hacks to help you find your way once you've become lost. One hack is to go back to your thesis for the article or chapter: What is your topic? And what do you want to say about that topic? And, ultimately, how does the thesis of this chapter support the overall book idea? When you're lost, it's time to strip it all back a bit.
