Franz Kafka was an insurance agent. William Faulkner was a
postmaster. Stephen King taught high school English, John
Grisham was an attorney, and Toni Morrison worked in
publishing. Though romantic fantasies of the writing life
don?t often include a day job, the fact is that most writers
have one.
If you find yourself among them, stealing moments late at
night, early in the morning, or on your lunch break to
write, The Nighttime Novelist is your guide—on call any hour
to help. Divided into quick mini lessons to make the most of
your precious writing time, this book offers:
# Technique instruction that breaks down the elements of the
novel—from crafting your protagonist to successful plotting
and pacing
# Hurdle lessons that help you anticipate and overcome
roadblocks, so you can keep your productivity and your story
on track
# Going Deeper explorations that provide guidance on the
more nuanced aspects of storytelling, so you can take your
work to the next level
# Try It Out assignments and more than 25 interactive
worksheets that help you apply the lessons to your own
project
Whether you?re just beginning your novel, wondering how to
navigate its middle, or bringing it to a close, you?ll find
the instruction, exercises, and support you need to keep
your story moving forward every time you sit down to write.
