Episode Details

If you've ever spoken a sentence into your notes app and thought, "there's a canyon between this and dictating an actual novel," this episode is for you.

This week on The Confident Fiction Author, we're on week two of my D.R.A.F.T. framework series with R=Reps, where your dictation training really begins.

In this episode, you'll discover:

•  Why dictation is a skill, not a switch you flip
•  Three reps that bridge the canyon from "never dictated a word" to a daily practice that makes dictation feel automatic
•  Your three punctuation options, including the one I trained myself on and recommend you try before you decide
•  My fastest writing session ever, and why that number convinced me to master this skill for good

By the end, you'll have this week's training plan in hand.

Listen to the episode or read the blog-style version on my Substack here.

And if you want to do your reps in a tool that was designed for fiction authors, my app Fictate is out of beta and open to everyone! There's a free trial waiting for you at fictateapp.com.
