The 6 Mindsets Fiction Writers Need to Revise Successfully

The Better Writer Podcast by Olivia Bedford

Episode notes

Revision isn’t just about perfecting your plot or sharpening scenes. Revision is also mental and emotional. In this episode, I’m breaking down the 6 mindsets that fiction writers need to embrace in order to successfully revise their books.

The six mindsets are:

1. Don’t compare your draft to a finished book.

2. Don’t be afraid of big changes.

3. Be patient.

4. Feedback isn’t law.

5. You can make your book great.

6. Embrace collaboration.

These mindsets aren’t always easy to embrace, but they will help you create a book that works for readers.

Listen to the full episode to learn why each of these mindsets is crucial and my advice for making them part of your process.
