Is 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
in just 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.
