Second Edition. Updated and Expanded April 2012. WRITING SHOULD BE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE! The important thing, says the multi-published author, mentor and writing instructor, Vicki Hinze, is to love what you're doing. There is right or wrong way to write a vel, but Hinze shows you one way--her way--which has helped her write and publish award-winning, bestselling vels, time after time. In this book, she opens her personal toolbox of methods and guides that you can alter to fit your own process to get your vel started, written, tested, and submitted. One Way to Write a Novel explains Hinze's techniques for creating memorable characters, plotting, using plot boards, testing ideas, avoiding common errors that net rejections, building a vel tebook, formatting manuscripts, writing effective dialogue, pacing, testing vel focus and much, much more--all in a fun and organized way. As Hinze says, Your writing is time from your life and because it is, it should be the time of your life!
