How to Write a Book

About How to Write a Book

There are millions upon millions of How to Write books out there. So, why bother writing another one? Simple really: David Farland. His book "Million Dollar Outlines" promises to show you how to outline. On the back cover of his book, it says he'll teach you how to analyze an audience and outline a novel. On the inside of the book, it says he'll teach you how to outline. At the end of the book, he says, he will not show you how to outline but he'll go through the process. To me, that's a lie. I've noticed this in a lot of books. I have read many books on outlining, plotting, etc.; most are wordy and the advice is hidden (if given). Why read this? Because I promise to actually, really, really, really, SHOW YOU the process I use. I will also try my best to answer your questions. As a practicing writer, I am always looking for tips to improve. I'm a discovery writer (AKA pantser) and I would like to blend the process. This book contains only meat and bones. No fluff, no filler, no BS. Topics covered: Recommended writing movies Recommended writing books Brainstorming The initial Idea Characters Setting Outlining Writing the book Synopsis Editing Research About the author section The Comfort Zone When the words won't come Breaking self-doubt All of this info is packed into only 162 pages. No chapters, but section breaks. The book is from start to finish. Follow along.
