You are a writer and you have a killer book idea. When your project
starts to take off you will find yourself managing a writhing
tangle of ideas, possibilities and potential potholes. How do you
turn your inspiration into a finished novel? Writing a User's
Manual offers practical insight into the processes that go into
writing a novel, from planning to story development, research to
revision and, finally, delivery in a form which will catch the eye
of an agent or publisher. David Hewson, a highly productive and
successful writer of popular fiction with more than sixteen novels
in print in twenty or so languages, shows how to manage the day to
day process of writing. Writers will learn how to get the best out
of software and novel writing packages such as Scrivener, which
help you view your novel not as one piece of text, but as
individual linked scenes, each with their own statistics, notes and
place within the novel structure. As you write, you will need to
assemble the main building blocks to underpin your artistry : story
structure; genre - and how that affects what you write; point of
view; past, present or future tense; software for keeping a book
journal to manage your ideas, research and outlining; organization
and more. The advice contained in this book could mean the
difference between finishing your novel, and a never-ending work in
progress. An essential tool for writers of all kinds. Foreword by
Lee Child.
