What the hardest thing about writing a novel? Actually turning your sexy outline into a real book. With words, and stuff. Sure, you've got a really awesome outline, a notebook full of character sketches, and your work space is overflowing with "research" materials, but that blank page is still staring at you. Getting ready to write a book is one thing, but actually putting all the words down on the page--in the right order, more or less--can be even harder than coming up with a clever idea or two.

Here are tips to get from Plot Point A to B to R without getting too distracted along the way, as well as methods to find a rhythm and make it yours. Plus charts and boxes and stuff that will round out a full call to action. A call that will help you finish that novel!
