#howtocreatecharacters

The free workshop that teaches you how to be creative with real world tried-and-true exercises that take just minutes each day.

Written for busy people who have always wanted to write a book, Writing Hurts Like Hell: How to Write a Novel When You Don't Have Time to Write a Short Story, guides the aspiring writer step-by-stop through the process of writing a novel from conceiving an idea, to developing the idea into a well-plotted story, and then revising the finished first draft into a manuscript that's ready to send to an agent or publisher.

This workshop-in-a-book breaks the entire process into manageable tasks that will fit into even the busiest of schedules.

The concepts and approaches in this book were developed over a period of ten years of teaching writing workshops through college extension programs and literary workshops, including the Maritime Writers' Workshop, and this book is full of activities that will have the writer-to-be opening doors to their creativity within hours.
