Editorial Reviews

Review

Every November, tens of thousands of people sign up for National Novel Writing Month and attempt to write a 50,000-word novel. Baty, the brains behind this competition, has produced an uproariously funny motivational manifesto so readers can get a leg-up in his race or in the larger publishing game. The key is to lower your expectations "from 'best-seller' to 'would not make someone vomit,' " says Baty, who maintains that stress and a deadline are important parts of writing. Aimed at the nonserious, with an emphasis on summoning creativity and having a life-changing experience, this original approach will appeal to anyone up for a challenge. -Library Journal

 

Product Description

Chris Baty, motivator extraordinaire and instigator of a wildly successful writing revolution, spells out the secrets of writing -- and finishing -- a novel. Every fall, thousands of people sign up for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), which Baty founded, determined to (a) write that novel or (B) finish that novel in -- kid you not -- 30 days. Now Baty puts pen to paper himself to share the secrets of success. With week-specific overviews, pep "talks," and essential survival tips for today's word warriors, this results-oriented, quick-fix strategy is perfect for people who want to nurture their inner artist and then hit print! Anecdotes and success stories from NaNoWriMo winners will inspire writers from the heralding you-can-do-it trumpet blasts of day one to the champagne toasts of day thirty. Whether it's a resource for those taking part in the official NaNo WriMo event, or a stand-alone handbook for writing to come, No Plot? No Problem! is the ultimate guide for would-be writers (or those with writer's block) to cultivate their creative selves.

Πλάκα φαίνεται να έχει αυτό! Αλλά έπρεπε να αναφέρει και το νανόριμο στο εξώφυλλο.

Όχι και vomit, αυτό είναι εύκολο να το αποφύγεις. Sleep, όμως, θα έλεγα ότι είναι πιο πιθανός κίνδυνος...

 

Word warrior! Ωραίο! Αυτό έπρεπε να βάλω για nickname.

Το διάβασα πριν 2 χρόνια. βιβλίο κατάλληλο μόνο για παντελώς άσχετους με το γράψιμο. Χάσιμο χρόνου για οποιονδήποτε άλλο που θέλει να γράψει έστω και λίγο σοβαρά.

Αχά! Άρα εκεί κολλάει το vomit: σε τέτοιους απευθυνεται. Good to know.
