You Can Do It!
Stop staring at that blank page. Dust off that half-finished manuscript. This book will help you get from first page to a finished first draft. You can do it!
You're not going to write a brilliant book. Not yet. But you are going to write a first draft. What is often elegantly referred to as your "Vomit Draft."
This book cuts through the mountain of advice about writing and boils it down to just what you need to write a novel that works.
Because here's a secret: Getting to the end is the hardest part. Or, as has often been said, "You can't edit a blank page."
This book will give you the fundamentals of story and character that you need to get started, a strong dose of encouragement and essential guideposts along the way.
-Find your hero and give them a unique voice
-Give your hero - and your antagonist - a deep flaw
-Find the Five Tentpole Scenes that will hold your story up
-Learn how to energize the messy middle of the story
-Create a Finale that is big, bold, and pays off emotionally
-Make it to the end!
Make this the year you finally WRITE YOUR NOVEL!

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
