How Not to Write a Novel

Maybe you've wondered why your fiction characters always seem so plain and one-dimensional. Or perhaps your plot always turns out way too clichéd. Whatever troubles you think your writing contains are all covered in one imaginative, informational guide: How Not to Write a Novel. I personally discovered this find when I was browsing around the aisles in the library. I found an amusing ordinary how-not-to read sitting right next to a book I was searching for. I checked it out on a whim and inhaled it almost as soon as we got back. Packed with often-seen errors of aspiring authors, an ordinary how-not-to book would become boring in about three pages. However, How Not to Write a Novel uses well-placed doses of humor to keep you interested enough to keep turning the page. But it's never easy to forget what this book is all about; it still provides a wealth of tips and tricks. From sarcastic and witty chapter openers detailing the exact steps to make people steer clear of your manuscript to cringe-worthy example excerpts, this book is something you'll refer back to again and again.
