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

So then you also said you binge listened quite a bit of the episodes and you're like, okay, I see that there are some tools here I can pick up, even though I've already written 20 plus books.

Absolutely.

Do you remember like, was there something in particular that you were like, ooh, this is one of those tools I need?

You don't do anything easily, do you?

Yeah.

So can you talk about that a little more?

Because I think a lot of writers, you know, myself included in the past, you you read a lot, right?

So you come into it thinking, okay, my favorite book had 28 chapters.

I'm going to try to emulate that and write 28 chapters.

And then we kind of dig ourselves into a hole.

So talk about what that looked like practically approaching it in scenes versus chapters.

Yeah.

And it's funny because uh we have like a request inbox where people can submit things they want to hear about in the podcast.

And one of the most requested topics is how to connect your chapters.

And they're kind of asking this question without knowing that they're asking this question.

So it's exactly what Grace is saying is when you focus on the scenes, you have an easier time with the chapters because you've already written a well structured scene that leads directly into the next well structured scene.

So it just gets easier and I'm so glad that that was one of the things that made a big difference for you, Grace.

Yeah.

And this is so interesting too because you were such a discovery writer that sometimes I know people are listening and they're like, But you were a discovery writer and now you like writing in the scene, you know, scenes with scene structure and all that.

Um, did you find any resistance to doing it that way?
