So start now. Take up a notebook and pen, and write one sentence. Can you write a novel in a year? If you simply sit back and think about the enormity of writing a book, it will seem like a vast and unconquerable task, impossibly daunting. The way to make it less daunting is to break it down into its constituent parts, to do it bit by bit. The chapters here offer different aspects of technique and are divided up into bite size chunks, the better to aid digestion. The book looks at different aspects of writing, with set exercises to help the writer along in their confidence and technique. It is designed to be read a chapter a week, with the aim of the fledgling writer having a body of material at the year's end which should form a solid start to their novel. Deeply practical, with sound advice at every stage, A NOVEL IN A YEAR is essential reading for any would be novelist. Quite scarce signed. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 007615
