How They Do It
How They Do It is a recurring column that invites guest writers to share their writing process and tips. They discuss everything from how they write to how they use a specific technique like dialog or description, to outlines vs pantsing. Its purpose is to show that every writer writes differently, and there is no "right" way to write. There's just finding your way.
