Summary
In this day-by-day guide through the process of outlining and writing the first draft of your novel in 90 days, Watt will show you how to structure your novel without losing connection to your voice. Why you are uniquely qualified to write your novel. The dilemma at the heart of your story. How your fears are a portal into your characters. The connection between your life themes and story themes. Why you kept getting stuck, and how to break through
