A Novel in a Year. Ein Roman in einem Jahr, englische Ausgabe
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. Over the chapters herein, different aspects of
technique are divided up into bite size chunks, the better to aid
digestion. The book will look at different aspects of writing, with
set exercises to help the reader 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.
