I've gotten a lot of feedback asking for help with their first draft - for a non-fiction book! Whether you want to write a novel or an educational book, my 30 day workshop can help you turn your idea into a finished first draft! Get on the wait list here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

So for this first draft workshop, I'll be taking a (non-RDC) idea from my ideas folder and doing the first draft from it. But which one would you like to see me do? Vote here: www.patreon.com/posts/lets-h...

I wanted to let you know that starting November 1st, I'll be raising the prices on my edible landscaping books and services. It's been 15 years since I've raised my prices, and now seems as good of a time as any.

In a #firstdraft, nothing matters: not the font, not the format, not the word count, not what you eat or drink, not where you write it, now whether you want to publish or are terrified at the very thought, not whether you write by hand or dictate it or use the perfect software.

Want to write a novel? There's one week left to join us in my 30 day live interactive first draft workshop. pattyloof.com/products/wri...
