The greatest challenge in rewriting your book is making a thousand small changes while staying true to your narrative voice. In this practical day-by-day guide to revising your manuscript, you will:
* End procrastination by breaking your work down into manageable tasks
* Learn the technical skills necessary to bring your prose to life
* Discover how to write compelling dialogue
* Solve narrative problems of structure, point of view and pacing
* Learn how to sell and market your book once it is completed
The material in this book was developed at L.A. Writers' Lab over four and a half-years to help writers who were getting bogged down by the myriad vagaries of the rewrite process. By setting goals and having clearly defined guideposts this process has helped many writers complete their work in a timely manner. As the rewrite process involves moving between the left and right brain, this workbook is structured to approximate that experience.
The first section, Preparation, contains an overview of the process and an in-depth discussion of story structure. It is followed by a series of left-brain Technical Matters. The second section is the 90-Day Rewrite workshop, which is divided into thirteen weeks, with each week addressing a key stage in the hero's journey. The weekly summaries provide an overview of the work to be covered that week, while the daily letters are focused on various aspects of the process and offer a single daily directive. The third section discusses what to do with your manuscript once you have completed your rewrite.
