The missing piece of the puzzle
October 26, 2016

I've read a lot of writing books, and I frequently use them as procrastination for actual writing. I bought this book as a pep talk before starting Nano for the third time without a win! I've honestly been stuck- terrified of the probable time suck of writing novels, not really knowing of where to start. Every book says butt in chair, fingers on keyboard, but nothing else actionable.

That's where this little gem is different!

Scott gives a very clear map of how to actually write a novel from idea to line edit, all the way to publish, minus the book cover of course! There are words of encouragement, and some cheer leading, but mostly it's an actionable check list. This is not a craft book, this is a blue print for how to actually write a novel that takes 5 days and not 5 years!

To echo him, I would encourage you to read through the book in it's entirety first, preferably with your notes from all the other writing books you've read, or his book on screenwriting so that when he says write a treatment(blurb), or an outline you have the steps for your preferred method doing so or the genre you are writing.

The actual written voice of the book was really good. It felt more like a conversation than a lecture. I did not need to google any words or have to read paragraphs multiple times to get his meaning, he made me smile and laugh out loud throughout. He gave me permission to adapt his process to fit me, and reminded me that writing is not just the rat race of publishing, but is an act of creation that should be enjoyed (without sounding a like a new age guru :).
I totally despise board spammers and spambots !!!
