With the conclusion on NaNoWriMo many new writers would find themselves asking this question. Now what? You've written your first draft, so what's the next step.

Every year in December, a few hundred thousand writers breath a sigh of relief because they have completed their manuscript.

They've written 50k words in 30 days and have won one of the biggest writing challenges in the world. Probably you're one of the thousands.

After you've completed your first draft, I like to suggest taking a month off. An entire month to just rest, reflect and not think about your book. You deserve that much.

One thing I love doing is taking walks up to the stream behind my house. I like to listen to the birds singing and seeing the forest animals going by.

This is just one thing I do when I've completed my draft. In this episode I share 4 next steps plus a bonus to help you enjoy the holidays stress free.
