The author, Chris Baty, is the founder of National Novel Writing Month. In it he has complied a wonderful selection of tips and tricks to get you going to -yes- write a novel in a month. The encouragement is never-ending. Neither are the laughs. The first four chapters of the book get you motivated and warmed up for doing your month long writing marathon. The last five chapters take you week by week through your writing month.

This book is good for anyone who has ever wanted to put pen to paper and write the Great Novel. By the time you finish you will either want to continue writing or at the very least you'll be able to say you did it once.

I especially like the encouragement and the laughs. Baty gives some good tips and tricks. Sometimes you're crusin' along having fun and you don't realize how much you have accomplished!

When I had finished reading this book I had written a novel in a month!

This book made me feel as if I really could write a novel. A number of them in fact.

I recommend this book because more people should have the courage to follow atleast one dream in their lives. And having fun doing it makes it all the more worth it.
