Episode 9: Two Ways to Create Structure Whilst Writing in an UNBOUND Way

In this episode, Nicola talks about the dichotomy of writing in an UNBOUND way, whilst feeling the need to create structure.In this episode:How the word “should” is a warning signTrusting the process of not needing to have a structure as your book comes throughOften a structure drops later in the process of writing when we allow ourselves to sit with the mess of writingHow the structure of Nicola’s book, UNBOUND, became clear late in the writing processHow to sit with the desire to create structure and be present with the magic of the mess in the unknowingHow books don’t need to look the way we are told they “should”Ask the yourself what journey you would like to take your reader onWhat brings them to your book, and what are they looking to experience from reading your book?Your journey for the reader in your book has room for magic and can take many formsConsider your own journey and your own story over your lifetimeMerging your story and the journey of your readers allows for magic to happenGive yourself permission to tell your story in a different wayEven with a structure in place, you don’t have to write in a linear wayYour book and your UNBOUND Self might have different ideas about how to writeA huge part of the UNBOUND book writing process is to allow yourself to be guided When you allow yourself to sit with times of not knowing, the book has a powerful, transformational experience to itStructure can also be created through a process that you use in your work as a structure for your book“The key thing is always to leave space for magic”Links Mentioned:The Unbound Writing MastermindConnecting With Your Book visualisationConnect with Nicola on Instagram, and The UNBOUND Press on Instagram or Facebook here.Music Credit: Joseph McDade
