A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Too many fiction writers lose their way before they even start writing because they wait until they feel perfectly inspired or until they have all the pieces of the story carefully mapped out in their heads to start their projects.And then they begin to write...slowly...laboring...over...each...sentence with a painstaking intensity that runs out fast, stalling momentum and sapping the project of its initial appeal.'Novel Shortcuts' provides readers with a unique take on 'speed depth in fiction writing', showing them how to write a fast first draft that's also rich and engrossing (it's really possible!). With examples from published works and detailed instruction, the author addresses everything from premise development to scene building to tone and much, much more.
