Have a great idea for a book, but aren't sure how to write it? Overwhelmed by all the various "how to write" books out on the market? Do you have a busy life or a short attention span? Bare Bones: A Quick Guide to Writing Your First Novel is a compilation of advice for the fledgling writer. Katrina Kissinger is an author, editor, and a creative writing instructor with a stash of how-to-write books at her disposal. She's condensed everything she's learned over the last twenty-plus years into one very short book that will help you achieve your writing goals. She touches on: character, point-of-view, tenses, goal and motivation, conflict, pacing, revision, publishing, and promotion. Designed to be read in less than an hour, Katrina explains the important aspects of novel writing and uses examples from imaginary work to make points. A must-read for the inexperienced wanna-be author.
