Write Your Novel One Day at a Time: How to Write a Novel While Having a Career, a Family, and a Life
About this ebook
Write Your Novel One Day at a Time will help develop the processes to do the creative work of writing your novel. I will show you the power of consistency by giving you a look at my daily word counts and journal entries through the six-month endeavor of writing my third novel while working my day-job as a commercial litigator and raising a young family.
My writing has been twenty-five years in the making, and now includes four non-fiction books and three novels. All these books have been written in small chunks, a few hundred words at a time, because small increments are the only ones I have. Through this book, I will show you how showing up daily to do your creative work will help you deliver the book you want to write.
But I’m not the only one who has had to juggle writing, family, and a career. In Write Your Novel One Day at a Time, I interview five successful writers who began writing their novels during their professional careers. Through these interviews, and my own experiences, I will help you develop a blueprint for how you can get your creative work done.
I am not a guru who has all the answers. I am a writer who is figuring things out as I go. So as I learn on the fly, I want to help flatten the learning curve and provide some encouragement for those of you who also aspire to write novels and get your words and your work into the world.
