Eat the Elephant: How to Write (and Finish!) Your Book One Bite at a Time

Description

How do you write a novel? Just like eating an elephant. One bite at a time.

There are many books on individual aspects of writing, but how do you translate them to your own work? How do you know if you are applying it correctly? Creating a novel is a huge undertaking. How do you juggle the forest and the trees?

After having shared this method with many writers at every level of writing skill over my fifteen years as an editor and an author, I’ve discovered that the Novel Blueprint method covered in Eat the Elephant addresses these common problems.

Does this sound like you?

• Each time I write a book it feels like I’m starting from scratch. How do I write a book without reinventing the wheel each time?
• There are so many pieces to juggle. Where do I even begin?
• I can’t finish writing a book. I get stuck partway through.
• How can I write faster and better?
• There’s a lot to remember about writing a book. How do I make sure I hit all the important things?
• How do I write a book that readers rave about and tell their friends to buy?

The Novel Blueprint method gives you all the major components you need to construct your novel while still allowing for the element of surprise and the joy of creativity. You will write faster because you won’t be rewriting and deleting. When you sit down to write, you’ll know what you’re going to write.

You’ll write a better book, rich with believable characters and compelling story arcs. This is a method you can use book after book, knowing exactly what you need to do each time you sit down to write.
