There are many guides about writing novels on the market but how many of them are written by prolific published authors? The answer is ‘not many’.
How can anyone write a guide unless they have been through the writing process many times before? The simple answer to this question is they can’t because they cannot feed on their own actual experiences to help another writer to avoid the mistakes and pitfalls. Most guides regurgitate information which they have picked up from creative writing books or sites. How can they give you advice when they have never sat down and focused on creating a novel which will sell, many times over? Writing a novel is the same as any other task we undertake as individuals. We have to learn how to do it in order to do it well. When you first learn to drive, you need lessons. No one walks into the kitchen and creates a gourmet dish on their first attempt. If you want a system to apply to writing a book, then you need to take advice from an ‘author’ who has taken years to develop the process via experience.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars Useful tips on planning and writing a novel June 28, 2013 By Oana Matei (All Fantasy Worlds) Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase I don't think there is a reader who hasn't thought at least once of writing his/her own novel. I know I've given writing a lot of thought... and who knows? Maybe one day I'll just sit down and do it. Until then, I'm trying to learn as much as possible about the craft and about marketing a novel, so whenever I come across a book related to writing, I have to read it and see if I can learn anything new. "How to Write a Novel in 90 Days" sounded like an interesting, fast read. There were some things I already knew because they're both pretty logical and they can also be found in just about any book on writing. But there were also some great tips that could help anyone get to work. I think the hardest part isn't to come up with a good idea or likeable characters, but to actually sit down and put the story on paper. This is why the system Conrad Jones explains sounds helpful and efficient if you stick to it. It's simple: you set a target, say a full length novel of 90k, and then you write 1500 new words a day, 5 days a week. The most important thing is to rewrite those 1500 words before starting to write the next ones. This way you also edit while writing, making sure that you use all the character's five senses, thus improving your story. Anyway, the system is a bit more complex than what I've explained here, but you get the idea. The author insists a lot on rewriting, which is good, I guess... given the fact that after writing the first draft, the second hardest task is to start editing and rewriting it. The good part is that 1500 words a day is really not a lot, and if you add more words while editing what you've written the previous day, you might even surpass the initial target. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BMK8NXS https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BMK8NXS
