If you consider yourself creative, and you're not afraid of hard work, then you've got what it takes to succeed as a novelist.
After all, creative people are naturally making up stories, inventing worlds, and daydreaming. I mean, don't even get me started on how much daydreaming I do ...
That's the creative part.
The hard-working part is being open to living in a world where writing, truly, is your life.
See, when you're willing to put in the work, and make writing your top priority, you'll reach a point where you can leave that "day job" behind and spend your days focusing on your stories.
Many before you have done it, and now it's your turn.
So, creative? Check. Hard-working? Check. You've got the qualities you need to succeed.
That's the good news.
The bad news? Well, that's the bad news as well.
Because as you probably know by now, being a creative person is a blessing and a curse.
Lots of great ideas? Blessing.
But have you ever had way too many ideas swimming around in your head? Or struggled to turn your ideas into a story that makes any sense?
Curse.
And hard work is, well, hard work. You've just gotta do it.
Now that you have the good news and the bad news, do you care to join us?
This is your chance to get started:
In the 21-Day Novel Jumpstart, you'll write your first chapter—a solid first chapter that does its job: making readers stick around for Chapter 2 and beyond.
On this three-week writing adventure, you'll learn, step-by-step, how to organize your ideas into a story, create settings and characters, and avoid newbie mistakes.
Then, you'll put it all into practice and crank out a first chapter that rocks.
Sign up for the 21-Day Novel Jumpstart here.
Writing a novel ...
... is not something you can half-ass. Either you're committed to it or you're not.
Are you willing to devote three weeks this summer to plant the seeds of your future?
Fortunately, our 21-day workshop is self-paced—and doesn't demand you be anywhere at a certain time—so it flows around your existing schedule and busy life.
This is your chance to lay the groundwork and build the foundation of your novel.
But ... you won't just be building the foundation of your novel, you'll be building the foundation of your future as a full-time writer.
Writing a good first chapter is of such vital importance, it's hard to stress it enough.
And although it's just the first step toward becoming a published author, it's a giant leap—get out of my head, Neil Armstrong!—toward the life you dream of.
