Summary: It helped me in my downtime
Comment: So, you want to write a novel was a good book. I won't say great because it could use a little something extra, but it was good. It helped me when I was suffering from what they call writer's block or laziness. The exercises were helpful and helped me get back into the swing of the writing process. I keep my answers in a notebook and often go back to them to create characters. I did a lot of excersises in one sitting and they kept me writing. That is what I like most about the book, it kept me writing and that is very important to a beginning writer. So you want to write a novel, is definately for beginning writers, because it doesn't offer enough ideas for the experienced writer, they would just lose interest (but then again, you never know). I of course finished the whole book and will use my answers later on in my writing life. I give Lou, a big round of applause for writing this book. It was one of the first books I bought when I began considering writing a novel. I plan on keeping the book and using some of the exercises in a writer's group,(whenever I find the time to start one). Continuing to write is very important, if you want to be successful, so if you're stuck with writer's block or laziness, pick up "So you want to write a novel" and try some of the excersises you might learn something you never knew.

Summary: Not bad
Comment: i have seen books on writing that are worse, but after reading it I felt that it was lacking something. Much like a novel without a good ending. However it does have it's plus sides. There is some very good sound advice in there, some things that beginners may not have thought of. But the book is very much a beginning guide, of much more use to someone who has never done a writing course or done alot of reasearch into writing. Is this book useless? absolutly not. But if you have done a writing course or have already started writing a novel then it may not be of much use. But if you have not written a word yet, then it could be worth a read.

Summary: This is the best book EVER!
Comment: This book was SO much help, I've never felt so confident in my writing before! The exercises are not only creative, but fun, and this book helps! Instead of telling you 'you can't, you CAN'T YOU CAN'T!' this books says 'its simple, just follow the steps and soon you'll have a novel!' Pointing out normal mistakes people make (and telling you how to fix them) makes this book worth TEN stars! yay Lou!!
