Page One to Done - by Jessica Brody (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Finally finish the first draft of your novel with a method that is designed to bring efficiency, speed, and joy to the process.

Does it seem like you've spent so much time writing and are left only with a folder full of false starts? Stories you were so excited to write but then gave up a few chapters in or even halfway through? Are you trapped in an endless cycle of rewrites, self-doubt, and perfectionism?

Enter fast drafting: a fool-proof method for getting your book out of your head and onto the page. Based on her popular course, Jessica Brody, author of Save the Cat! Writes a Novel, will guide you through the process of getting through a first draft as quickly (and messily) as possible so you can not only get the thing done but more importantly discover your story faster and get to the revision process with clarity.

Jessica infuses the key elements of persistent forward momentum and invisible revising into her 3-phase approach:

• Mindset: Overcome perfectionism and self-doubt
• Preparation: Flesh out the details of your story
• Drafting: Put everything together and write your first draft in the quickest way possible

Within 30 days, you'll gain the mental space and freedom to easily and more joyfully finish every project you start.
