What You Will Learn?
- I'm the New York Times bestselling author of over a dozen books, including The Drunken Botanist, Wicked Plants, and Girl Waits with Gun. I've been a full-time author for twenty years, and in that time my books have sold over a million copies worldwide and been translated into 17 languages. .
- When I'm on book tour, the question I hear most often from aspiring writers is: "I have an idea for a book, but where do I begin?".
- I get it! Starting a new book is daunting for all of us. In this class, I'm going to walk you through the three steps I take to start a first draft. I promise it'll be easy, fun, and low-pressure..
- --You'll get to hang out at your favorite bookstore or library..
- --You'll get to tear open a fresh new package of index cards..
- --Best of all, you'll start filling a notebook (or a computer screen!) with pages..
- E.L. Doctorow said, "Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.".
- I want to help you get started on your journey! Think of this class as the headlights that will guide you down that first mile..
- Let's get started!.
