About this title

Synopsis

This step-by-step book shows you how to organise your writing around weekends. There is a programme for each weekend in the year, taking you through every stage from the basics of character, scene and plot, to the construction of the novel in scenes and chapters. There is also advice on: * How to make your writing time sacred. * Which books to have on your bookshelf. * How to think like a writer. * Why other writers quit after the first chapter ...but you won't. * How to start your book in the first four weekends ...and how just one month will change your life.

From the Publisher

During the week Robert J. Ray was a teacher. On weekends he learned the fiction writer's craft and produced his first novel. He ended up selling six books in six years. The same success as a writer can happen to you.

His step-by-step program, the same one he uses himself and teaches in his popular fiction-writing class, organizes your writing around the weekends. Each weekend you work through the basics of character, scene, and plot, the construction of the novel in scenes and chapters, and the actual writing and editing of your book.
