Novel Writer's Survival Guide offers a lighthearted—and little bit crazy—look at writing a 50,000-word novel in a month. Because you'd have to be a little crazy to write a novel in a month. When I decided to write a novel in thirty days, it was just for a lark—an interesting way to challenge myself and to see if I could actually do it. What I didn't know when I started was that not only did I discover I could write a decent, cohesive first draft of a novel in thirty days, but that an idea for another book would be born during that time—a nonfiction "how-to" for writing a 50,000-word novel in thirty days, which you're reading about right now.
Somewhere, on the magical island of Maui, writers gather to write 50,000-word novels in a month. They assemble in a place specifically designed for writers who are crazy enough to write a novel in 30 days—the Macadamia Nut Meeting Room. In this mystical, invisible place somewhere inside their imaginations, they gather every morning to listen to literary lectures about novel writing from an ageless librarian who may or may not be real—she may be masquerading as a muse. Or not.
Mocha Latte is doing research for a new novel and decides she has to find a way to go to Maui so she can meet a kahuna to get first-hand knowledge. Wondering how to make that happen, she stumbles across an online ad offering an all-expenses paid, month-long writing retreat in Maui. It almost seems too good to be true. Little does she know that not only has she been summoned by her muse on a novel quest to write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days, but there’s another—magical—reason.
She’s never been to a writing retreat quite like this and has no idea what she’s really getting herself into. Between the characters—some real, some imaginary—running through the pages, she also comes across writing gods and wordie gurus, plot doctors to fix the stories that suck, and cardiac character specialists who are called in to revive characters who’ve died all over the writer’s pages. Then she discovers the invisible library that houses imaginary books. Nothing is as it seems. Or maybe it only looks that way.
Offers a humorous look at writers writing a 50,000-word novel in thirty days, time morphing, a kahuna quest, the power of wishes, the magic of words, and the reality of imagination.
