"Beth's book is like plotting for pantsers!"--Tess Rider, Science Fantasy Romance Author
We know that you have other activities in your life besides writing, and that writing your novels is important to you. You can plan your novel in a way that fits into your life. We know, because we've done it, multiple times!
Based on the popular course, Plan Your Novel: 30-Day Writing Challenge, this book is organized into 4 sections, so that you can do the exercises over a one-month period.
If you're planning to participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) or Camp NaNo, this course will get you ready and give you everything you need to write a novel in 30 days.
This book is for you if you have never written a novel, have always wanted to, and still feel lost on how to go from brilliant idea to The End, then you will be stretched in new and different ways; or if you're an experienced novelist, with 1 or 2 completed or partially completed novels under your bed, and you're stuck somehow. You may find this course structured in a way that's new to you and yet familiar; or if you have 3 or more unfinished novels sitting in a drawer, and always hit that sagging middle and lose focus or lose interest, this course will help you dream up exciting ways to torture, I mean challenge, your characters all the way to story resolution.
With this book, you'll be able to believe that you can write a novel; step into a sense of satisfaction and creative accomplishment; cet excited for NaNoWriMo, and of course, plan your novel
