“The perfect kickstart to any new writer’s career…excellent source for creativity, pacing, ideas, and unconventional methods that many authors may never have heard of.” — San Francisco Book Review
“Highly recommended for fans of Jessica Brody’s Save the Cat! Writes a Novel and Christopher Vogler’s The Writer’s Journey.” — BlueInk Review
Structured as a seven-day workshop, each chapter covers one step in author Karin Adams’ seven-step writing process. A series of 70+ writing lessons and strategies methodically guides you through the first sparks of creating a story right through to polishing your draft. You can do the lessons in one week, or go at your own pace…pick and choose among the tasks, or do them all—there’s loads of flexibility! By the workshop’s end, you’ll have learned a complete writing method start-to-finish, and you’ll know exactly what you need to do to finally get your dream novel written. Plus, the book converts into a handy reference manual you’ll reach for again and again to bust through blocks and re-energize your creative genius!
Many writing guides break down and analyze the writing product (the novel) into components—the things you’ll need to figure out how to include in your own yet-to-be-written book. The One Week Writing Workshop takes another approach—it breaks down the writing process into bite-sized tasks and invites you to get busy writing and creating immediately! As you read (and write), you’ll be learning story essentials, creating with your own original thoughts, and seeing firsthand how it all comes together in order to write your book.
You’ll be using the method that author Karin Adams uses herself to write her novels, and the lessons she’s taught to thousands of her writing workshops participants since 2010. Not only that, this book takes into account the total writer’s experience, addressing low energy days and mindset challenges, and even the creative itch to think in ways that don’t involve your laptop (or occasionally even words!). That’s why you’ll find a number of invigorating outside-the-box and away-from-the-desk tactics most writing guides don’t share. They’re what the author does to keep herself inspired, and that she’s been sharing with others for over a decade!
Writing can be joyful and inspiring, full of experimentation, discovery and even play—The One Week Writing Workshop shows you how!
