The WritersWeekly.com Current Best Selling Book!
BAM: Book A Month
How long does it take you to finish a manuscript? Do you have stacks of incomplete stories that stalled in Act II or just never seemed to end or end up tens of thousands of words too short? Does the idea of outlining give you chills and evoke flashbacks to third grade and Roman numerals?

"It's not difficult to write a full-length commercial novel in one month if you do the hard work up front. I know--that's what I do."
-Cyn Mobley
