First you tell the story you want to tell; when you&#8217;re done with that you have the option of sharing it with others who might enjoy reading it. (I&#8217;ve written about this Writing vs. Storytelling dualism before.) On platforms like Ao3, the &#8220;sharing with others&#8221; part is&hellip;<\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/susannahadele.com\/?p=265\">E-book self-publishing checklist for first-time authors (Part 1)<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">After 30 years functioning as a systems analyst\u2014driven to make procedures both efficient and humane\u2014but being paid as a tech writer\u2014explaining procedures clearly\u2014it&#8217;s second nature to write down processes I&#8217;ve wrestled with.

(or, For the love of anagrams)<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">I have a confession: I used to dread naming characters. I&#8217;d write things with characters named &#8220;Blue&#8221; or &#8220;Asparagus,&#8221; scrambling at the last minute to come up with something better. This all changed in 2011. I was writing a story that had a minor character who was a previous incarnation of a villain I despised.&hellip;<\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/susannahadele.com\/?p=7\">Baby Steps: From casual fanfic writer to published author<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">I&#8217;ve been writing since I was 7.
