Storytelling for Pantsers

How to Write and Revise Your Novel Without an Outline

Beschreibung

Are you a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants writer? Hungry for a book that shows you how to write and revise your novel without an outline? Discover the secret sauce to help those of us seat-flyers get at least some grounding in what we do, and to find and use a system in the chaos that is pantsing. This book is intended to help those of us seat-flyers get at least some grounding in what we do, and to find and use a system in the chaos that is pantsing. This book is for you if you: Are still on chapter one - You should read this book if you have started a novel at least 68 times (the same novel) and only written the first chapter Jump around - You should read this book if you write chapter 1. And then chapter 5. And then chapter 2. etc. Write to Discover - You should read this book if you need to write to discover your story. ("I just watch my characters and write down what they do.") Get Lost in the Weeds - You should read this book if you get lost in the weeds of writing and revision because portions of your novel are in different phases of the writing process. Feel Writing is Complicated - You should read this book if you feel frustrated because "Dang it; writing’s hard enough. Why do I always have to complicate it?" Wear Pants - You should read this book if you think the cover of this book is cool, or wear pants. Because, hey, the cover is cool. So are you, and so is this book. (Who says you can’t judge a book by it’s cover? Pshaw.) Author and Writing Coach Annalisa Parent approaches the topic with a mix of humor and depth that will spark your writing.

Autor

Annalisa Parent teaches writing workshops across the country. She is the editor of Chair & Pen: Musings on Writing and the Writing Life, and an Undergraduate and Graduate Professor of English at Norwich University. A magna cum laude graduate of Middlebury College's English Department & Creative Writing program, Parent studied writing under Julia Alvarez and Jay Parini. She likes to joke that she's been writing stories since she could hold a crayon. Her first poem was published when she was 10 years old, and she was selected to read it aloud at a ceremony in the state house of her home state of New Hampshire. Suffice it to say that from a young age, writing had her hooked. She writes for many local, national, and international publications, has written and produced sketches for a Telly-Award winning television show, has co-written a novel, and has a solo women's fiction series and a book on writing that will be released later this year. She is a firm believer in the Oxford Comma, but will defer to style guidelines when necessary.
