Fiction Writing Made Easy with Savannah Gilbo | How to Write a Novel & Writing Advice · #255. Student Spotlight: How Grace Draven Learned to Write Faster (Without Sacrificing Quality) · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

This time around I could make the changes at the very beginning.

And even before I wrote the rest of the words, I knew where I was going with it.

So I knew it was gonna save me a lot of time.

So instead of writing a bunch of words and then say like, you know, throwing five thousand of them out and then rewriting it so that I had another new five thousand, I didn't have to do that.

I could just put everything up in the, you know.

I already knew from the very beginning how I was going to do it just because the way I changed my focus.

But Exactly.

Oh yeah, no problem at all.

Um I think it's because a lot of times you see some of these very expansive, you know, workshops that are available out there.

I knew that you were going to have uh great value to offer in the notes of the novel just because I'd been listening to so many of your, you know, podcast episodes in fiction writing made easy.

My concern was that.

I've been doing this for a really long time and I wasn't sure if it was going to be a situation where this was much more focused on the brand new writer or one who maybe only had one book out, maybe two books, you know, that kind of thing.

And yes, you do have more experience when you write one book or when you write two books.

Uh, but

Honestly, you just continue to gain experience.

You are never

to opt out.

Your tank is never full.

Um, you keep writing, you keep learning kind of thing.

So I think my main concern with notes to novel was before you know when I was hesitating was that it was going to be more focused on an author who was in a very different place from where I was.
