| First Draft In 30 Days: A Novel Writer's System For Building A |
"In the introduction of First Draft in 30 Days, author Karen Wiesner states, My 30-day method for outlining a novel eliminates many of the problems that plague fiction writers. Why dig for plots blindly when, with a little preparation, you can craft something worthwhile from start to finish? Why go through countless, lengthy drafts of a novel when you can create an outline so complete that it actually qualifies as the first draft? Why revise hundreds of pages of a complicated manuscript when you can revise a snapshot of your novel that's a quarter of the novel's length? Using an outline can significantly reduce the time it takes you to complete a project from start to finish-sometimes by more than half. First Draft in 30 Days works for any genre and is easily customizable to your particular approach and style. Wiesner's game plan and comprehensive, interactive worksheets make the writing process much more enjoyable. Getting ideas out of your head and onto the paper has never been easie"
