WRITING PROCESS

Writer’s Quick Tip

Start writing

Krystal marvels at how effectively pen and paper still work in today's digital age. Despite the abundance of word processors, AI generators, and creative tools, simply jotting down ideas about settings, characters, and plots can ignite a flood of creative thoughts and inspiration. Reflecting on her father's wise words about leaders struggling to see the bigger picture, Krystal recognizes the truth in his statement. She acknowledges how easy it is to feel paralyzed in front of a computer screen, fixating on getting the perfect start. However, she encourages writers to embrace the simplicity of pen and paper, urging them to jot down their thoughts without hesitation. Through this tactile process, Krystal assures writers that they'll be pleasantly surprised by the depth of creativity they possess.

Mission and Vision Statements

Reflecting on her consulting career, Krystal recalls crafting numerous Mission and Vision statements for clients. Initially, she found herself reusing generic statements across different clients, only to realize that they lacked personalization and authenticity. This lesson parallels the importance of tailoring cover letters for job applications to the specific needs of the role and industry, highlighting one's unique value proposition.

In her early writing days, Krystal was surprised to learn that submitting a manuscript wasn't enough; she needed to present a compelling proposal outlining her book's concept. This experience underscored the significance of effective promotion in the success of a book, a realization that has deepened over the past 20 years.

Upon completing her book, Krystal experienced a profound shift in perspective. It wasn't just about the book itself but about defining the kind of author she aspired to be. With this in mind, she crafted her:

Vision: Her vision is to become one of the top fantasy authors, creating stories that resonate with readers on emotional and intellectual levels, sparking self-reflection. Mission: Her mission is to challenge readers' preconceptions by weaving relatable societal conflicts into characters and plots, encouraging readers to confront their stereotypes, biases, and stigmas through deeply invested characters.

Journey Through Procrastination Purgatory

Summary of tip: Ever find yourself trapped in the Procrastination Purgatory? It's that nagging feeling when suddenly, everything else on your to-do list feels more urgent than facing the blank page. As a new breed fantasy author, I've battled this formidable foe time and time again.
But fear not! I've discovered the key to overcoming this creative hurdle lies in harnessing emotional resilience. While it's tempting to dive into other tasks like social media content creation or household chores, I've learned to prioritize my writing goals.
By maintaining a checklist of weekly tasks and allowing myself to tackle them in manageable chunks, I strike a balance between productivity and creative fulfillment. Even when the words don't flow effortlessly, I persevere, knowing that each small step brings me closer to my storytelling vision.

My Personal Strategy:

1. Weekly Goals: I set a checklist of tasks, from social media content creation to video editing, to maintain creative momentum.
2. Embracing Breaks: Sometimes, stepping away for other necessities like cleaning or email responses offers a mental reset.
3. Starting Small: I tackle writing in bite-sized 'idea chunks,' gradually building momentum until the bigger picture takes shape. So next time you find yourself in the Procrastination Purgatory, remember: with emotional resilience as your guide, you can navigate through any creative block and emerge stronger on the other side.

The Plot Twist Paralysis

Ah, the dreaded Plot Twist Paralysis—the moment when your story takes an unexpected turn, leaving you stranded in a sea of uncertainty. As a seasoned fantasy author, I've faced this formidable foe time and time again.
But fear not! In the face of uncertainty, I've learned to lean on my emotional resilience to guide me through. When confronted with a plot twist that leaves me grappling for direction, I turn to my trusty outline and notes, hoping they'll shed light on the path forward.
Sometimes, a fresh perspective is all it takes to break through the paralysis. I'll revisit my manuscript up to the current point, immersing myself in the world I've created and seeking inspiration from the story itself. Additionally, I make it a habit to jot down ideas as they come to me, ensuring I have a treasure trove of inspiration to draw from when I hit a roadblock.
So, fellow writers, take heart! With emotional resilience as our ally, we can navigate the twists and turns of our stories with confidence, emerging stronger and more inspired on the other side.

Here is my book synopsis:
"In a society reshaped by supernatural abilities, where Orders govern lives based on principles that delve deep into the soul, a delicate balance between gifted powers and unbridled greed unravels. The Great Spirit, witnessing the fraying threads of societal order, bestows a powerful spirit upon a chosen child-the Chozien.
As each Order embarks on a sacred quest to find and raise the Chozien, the very fabric of the world is at stake. For generations, the delicate scales between peace and power have teetered on the edge, and now, with the emergence of this new Chozien, the Great Spirit introduces a twist that will reshape destinies.
The story unfolds with the age-old question: What lengths will individuals go to in their quest for belonging, self-worth, and love? As the Chozien's journey intertwines with the deepest emotions, loyalty, deception, and unfathomable deeds, the strings of fate are pulled, and the balance between light and darkness is tested.
In "Balance of Power," Krystal B. Clark weaves a tapestry of magic, intrigue, and profound human emotions, inviting readers to ponder the consequences of their choices in a world where the very essence of existence hinges on the scales of power. Will the Chozien be the catalyst for lasting peace, or will their presence tip the balance towards a new era of chaos?
Prepare to be enchanted by a tale of destiny, resilience, and the eternal struggle for equilibrium in a world where the extraordinary and the mundane collide. "Balance of Power" beckons, and the journey into The Chozien Path Series awaits. Are you ready to embrace the magic within the pages? "
