The Extreme Novelist

Summary

Are you ready to become an Extreme Novelist?

Can’t find the time, energy, or self-confidence to get your novel written? Have life’s distractions and demands stopped you from completing the book of your heart? You’re not alone. Every year, through no fault of their own, intelligent, dedicated writers just like you feel this same frustration and fall short of their dreams of becoming successful novelists. Because they haven’t yet learned the secrets that every pro knows.

The Extreme Novelist’s time-tested methods gently inspire and guide the writer to complete a rough draft of a novel in just two months. Originally, these techniques were developed for a popular course by the same name, taught by the author at The Writer’s Center in Washington, DC. By mastering the simple methods introduced in this book, writers of any genre will commit to an aggressive writing schedule, gain confidence in their fiction skills, and double or even triple their weekly word count. They’ll learn how to deal with real-life issues such as time management, establishing a truly productive writing environment, and getting a book written despite distractions (e.g., the dreaded day job). Discover the satisfaction of living the life you’ve always dreamed of—as a confident, successful novelist. Become an Extreme Novelist.
