Anyone can write a novel now, and in this essential book of tips, practical advice, and wisdom, Walter Mosley promises that the writer-in-waiting can finish it in one year. Mosley tells how to: - Create a daily writing regimen to fit any writer’s needs—and how to stick to it. - Determine the narrative voice that’s right for every writer’s style. Get past those first challenging sentences and into the heart of a story.
