S
THAT
GREAT
NOVEL still a seed in your
mind, waiting for the right time to emerge?
Let the lawn get shaggy and the paint peel
from the walls, Walter Mosley advises, because
you can write your novel at any time, whatever your
work and personal responsibilities may be. And
with this essential book, Mosley promises that the
writer-in-waiting can do it
injust
one year.
Offering both motivation and instruction,
Mosley provides the tools needed to turn a novel
idea into a first draft in only three months. He shows
you how to create a daily writing regimen that will fit
any writer s needs
—
and inspires you to stick to it.
With examples you can wrap your fingers around,
he teaches the fundamentals of fiction writing, from
how to pick the perfect narrative style to fit your story,
to hooking your reader with dynamic characters,
to reading poetry for a sense of rhythm. With your
draft under way, Mosley guides you through the art
of revision, demonstrating how to turn the core of
your story into a complete and vibrant novel
—
it
might be the idea you set out with originally, or
it might be something even better.
Eliminating your personal doubts and your
writer s block, master craftsman Walter Mosley
gets you past those hesitant first sentences and into
the thick of your own creation, where you can write
with abandon. This Year You Write Your Novel is an
indispensable book of tips, tools, practical advice,
and wisdom from the author of the bestselling Easy
Rawlins novels and the acclaimed literary novels
The Man in My Basement and Fortunate Son.
