Writing: A User's Manual: A practical guide to planning, starting and finishing a novel

All too often writers focus exclusively on 'what to write' rather than 'how'. This is a manual offering plain-language insight into the everyday mechanics of creating a book from hazy idea to finished manuscript. These real-world challenges — how to approach a manuscript, to manage research, to fix the right point of view — represent important and recurring obstacles every writer, novice or professional, must overcome. This practical user manual is a must-have starting point for anyone facing that challenge. It is not a book on writing technique or how to get published. It's a practical guide to the craft of planning, starting and finishing a novel.
