If November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), October must be the perfect month for a pre-marathon novel course.
Local author Richard Thomas will teach you what you need to know to get your novel written in his 30-day Novel Course for Lazy, Undisciplined Writers. Topics to be covered include setting, genre, characters and character development; the controlling idea; the three levels of conflict; setups and payoffs; sub-plots; dialogue; and so much more. Beginning at 7:00pm, Tuesday October 6, this course includes four evening sessions and four Saturday afternoon check-ins in November during NaNoWriMo. It's time to do it!
