The One Week Writing Workshop shows you how to write a book step by step through a series of motivating writing activities. Working with your own creative ideas, you’ll learn a 7-step novel writing method to use now and on your future novel projects.
7 Days to Spark, Boost or Revive Your Novel
You’ve always wanted to write a novel and have been nurturing a great idea. Perhaps you’ve made a pile of notes—even written several chapters. But as you sit down alone with the blank page or your next scene, nothing happens. Or if the writing does start to flow, it soon dries up.
You’re facing that overwhelming gap between the story you’re imagining and the book you want to write. It’s enough to cause most people to throw in the towel. But that doesn’t have to be you!
In The One Week Writing Workshop, author Karin Adams helps you to overcome the overwhelm. She breaks the writing process down into a series of bite-sized, actionable tasks within a proven seven-step method. It’s the method Karin herself uses, and the one she has taught to thousands of workshop participants since 2010. This book is for you whether you’re just starting your novel, stuck in the middle, or getting back to an old draft.
While The One Week Writing Workshop emphasizes taking action now, it also circles back to story essentials as you go. If you’ve read other writing books, it will complement, reinforce and add fresh perspectives to what you’ve learned. If you’ve never studied creative writing before, The One Week Writing Workshop is the perfect book for getting yourself grounded while you get busy writing.
Structured as a seven-day workshop, each chapter is a lively session guiding you through energizing tasks that get you working on and actively growing your story. Throughout the book, you have lots of choice so that you can further tailor the experience for you and your novel.
You’ll find:
·70+ real-world writing activities and strategies you’ll start using within minutes of opening the book
·A tried-and-tested 7-step method for starting your novel and seeing it through to the finish
·Hands-on strategies for every step of the writing process, from generating ideas to revision
·Helpful mini lessons to get (or keep) you grounded with story writing essentials
·A blend of at-your-desk and out-of-the-box actions that help to inspire your entire creative self
·Activities you can come back to again and again to bust past blocks, develop new story concepts and reconnect with the joy that got you writing in the first place
The One Week WritingWorkshop is the book you need when it’s time to take action, write your novel and finally see it through to completion.
