A very short and approachable primer for writing a novel. It covers all the basics: establishing a routine, choosing your POV, crafting plot and dialogue, using language appropriately, reading your drafts, and making edits. He also ends with a bit of advice for getting published.

My one gripe with this was his excessive use of examples that involved sex and/or violence. Is that all he could come up with??

“The process of writing a novel is like taking a journey by boat. You have to continually set yourself on course. If you get distracted or allow yourself to drift, you will never make it to the destination.”

Good advice, albeit not very helpful for writers with ADHD, in my opinion.

I enjoyed this craft book. It definitely helps dispel the mystery behind controlling theme or lessons characters must learn.

BookDadGirlDad I read this along with her other. Fantastic whether you write or not. 2y
SoapboxEdits @BookDadGirlDad The science and history behind storytelling is interesting. I have Wired For Story on my TBR list. Your rec‘ mighta just bumped it up, thanks! 2y
BookDadGirlDad @SoapboxEdits I read them back to back. There is a young, indie writer on youtube who sings the praises of these books and has several videos on the principles. Her name is Abbie Emmons. 2y
SoapboxEdits @BookDadGirlDad Hey! I didn‘t see the notification for this! Thanks for telling me about Abbie, I‘ll look her up. 2y

“In a fit of desire, he tore off her coat, and her scarf, and her hat, and her gloves, and her neckwarmer, and her zip-up, and her sweater, and her long-sleeve, and her turtleneck, and her snow pants, and her flannel-lined jeans, and her fleece-lined leggings, and her long underwear, and her wool socks and her other wool socks.”

Kimberlone @marleed I‘m not from the Midwest, but I definitely appreciate the sentiment of the piece as I do live in a very cold place (Alaska) and the layers of clothing description is very accurate haha 2y

Tagging a random book because this one isn‘t on Litsy. I‘ve been reading romances lately thanks to about a million TikTok recommendations I‘ve come across, and I‘m about to start book two in this series. Witches, mages, demons, etc, very entertaining! Check TW from the author at the start of the book. The series (Emerald Lakes) is on Kindle Unlimited 😎
