Excerpt ~ Novel Writer's Survival Guide

A Novel Idea...

You are a writer. You are someone very, very special.

You are someone who knows all about the magic of words and how to make the writing magic happen.

You have the power to create a novel from a mere wisp of a thought inside your mind.

You have the ability to write an entire novel from an idea that just floated through your imagination.

You are a literary god or goddess in the making.

But even literary gods and goddesses need a little help now and then from their muse. That's what this book is for... to encourage you to bring forth and listen to all your totally wonderful, magnificent novel ideas that your muse whispers inside your mind and your imagination.

Origins ~ Novel Writer's Survival Guide

Once upon a time, a few years ago, I participated in a challenge to write a novel in thirty days. I thought it would be fun and interesting. I wrote a novel Novel Quest which is about writers writing a 50,000-word novel in a month. 

Sometime during the writing of that novel, an idea popped into my mind that it would be fun to write a "how-to" about the challenges, and the ups and downs, of writing a novel in a month.

NOVEL WRITER'S SURVIVAL GUIDE was born. It offers a lighthearted look into writing a novel in 30 days, as well as positive pep talks, a blueprint for your story, and so much more.

Book of the Month ~ October

Maybe you’re thinking about writing a 50,000-word novel in a month. Would you like to know what you’re getting yourself into?

NOVEL WRITER'S SURVIVAL GUIDE offers a lighthearted—and little bit crazy—look at writing a 50,000-word novel in a month. It offers everything you need to know, and probably more than a few things you don’t want to know, about writing a novel in 30 days. 

Invites you into the magic inside your mind and shows you how to make the writing magic happen. It offers a workbook for planning your novel and a road map for your month-long, novel-writing journey. 

It encourages you to bring forth and listen to all your totally magnificent novel ideas your muse whispers inside your mind and your imagination, and how to actually survive a 30-day writing marathon. 

Inside this 30-day guide to writing your novel, you’ll find:

  • The essential elements to include in your novel;
  • Premise, promise, and purpose of your novel;
  • Story seeds—shaping and setting up your novel;
  • How to structure and sketch out your story;
  • Three-act structure, hero’s journey, and beat sheets;
  • Setting, world-building, and creating your characters;
  • Capturing your plot bunnies and random thoughts;
  • How to develop your plot, subplots, and story line;
  • Foreshadowing, flashbacks, and back story;
  • Brainstorms, road maps, and sketchy shapes.
  • How to prep for a 30-day writing marathon;
  • What you should do if your muse goes missing;
  • The secret to writing a novel in thirty days;
  • The truth about writer’s block and brain burn-out;
  • Dreaming... how to write your story in your sleep;
  • Visualizing... seeing things that aren’t really there;
  • Positive pep talks and a 30-day doubt dialog; and
  • How to open your imagination and set it free.

Writerly words of wisdom are interspersed throughout the book. There’s also a magical word fairy running through the pages.

When I decided to write a novel in thirty days, it was just for a lark—an interesting way to challenge myself and to see if I could actually do it. What I didn't know when I started was that not only did I discover I could write a decent, cohesive first draft of a novel in thirty days, but that an idea for another book would be born during that time—a nonfiction "how-to" for writing a 50,000-word novel in thirty days, which you're reading about right now.

You can do this! You can write a novel in a month!

When I set out to write a novel in thirty days, I didn't have a clue. I'd written novels before, but not in a month. So I sat down at my laptop and watched the words appear on the screen. 
I ended up writing a novel about writers writing a novel in thirty daysNovel Quest: A 30-Day Novel-Writing Adventure. Offers a humorous look at writers writing a 50,000-word novel in thirty days, time morphing, a kahuna quest, the power of wishes, the magic of words, and the reality of imagination.
