Offering fresh inspiration alongside friendly, real-world creative writing instruction, The Nighttime Novelist takes writers through the long, stressful process of completing a book, something that's usually done in stolen snatches of time (in the morning before work, at night after the house is quiet or perhaps during lunch breaks). Broken down into three parts - Beginning, Middle, and End - it helps writers tackle each part of the novel-writing process. In addition, each section will feature a mix of four different types of short 'mini chapters': Techniques (basic writing instruction), Hurdles (tips for anticipating and working around setbacks), Inspiration (motivational passages), and Going Deeper (techniques and exercises writers can apply to take their work to the next level).
