Book excerpt: You’ve always wanted to write a novel and have been nurturing a great idea. Maybe you’ve read books by writing experts, perhaps even taken a class or two. But as you sit down alone with the blank page, despite all the dreaming, planning and learning—nothing happens. Or if the writing does start to flow, it soon dries up. Why is writing a novel so hard? You’re not uncreative. And the learning and planning you’ve done isn’t suddenly useless! Rather, you’re facing that overwhelming gap between the story you’re imagining and the book you want to write. It’s enough to stop most people from trying at all. 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 is not another book to read before you start your draft—it’s the book you grab when you want to actually start writing your novel. 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 Writing Workshop is the book you need when it’s time to take action, start writing your novel and finally see it through to completion.
