Book in a Month: Novel Writing Tool Kit By Kit Frazier

Get the dog washed and the dishes done, 'cause it's time to clear the calendars for National Novel Writing Month!

Whether you're thinking about writing a novel or mired in the middle of your work in progress, this is the class for you. The intensive course of study reviews Christopher Vogler's The Hero's Journey's three-act structure and Debra Dixon's Goal, Motivation, and Conflict: The Building Blocks of Good Fiction, and breaks these concepts down into a manageable, 30-day writing regimen, with particular emphasis on those all-important first five pages and middle-of-the-story conflict.
The Book in a Month Tool Kit includes:
1. PowerPoint Videos of Class Instruction

2. Personal Goal Tracker Calendar
3. Character Worksheets
4. Character Goal, Motivation & Conflict Sheets
5. Story Board Worksheets
a. Act One

b. Act Two
c. Act Three
6. Time Tracker Worksheets

Instructor Kit Frazier will provide daily encouragement to students and host Friday online brainstorming chats.

Students will also have the opportunity to share work in small online groups. To sign up, visit http://writersleague.org/programs/classes.html. See you there!
