#105 - No Plot? No Problem! — 2 years ago
Since I’m gearing up for NaNoWriMo in less than a month, I thought this would be the perfect time to read this book . . . and I was right! It’s written by the founder of NaNo, and is specifically about writing a novel in one month, so there were lots of ideas for keeping yourself going under a deadline, and it’s just darned funny, too. I must admit that I cheated a bit – he recommends that you read it during the month that you’re writing (he gives tips for each week, based on the challenges that usually happen to people during those weeks). I decided just to storm all the way through now, though. I can always go back if I get stuck. I finished this book feeling more excited than ever about writing next month, which is bound to be a good thing. 8/10
