The 90Day Novel Unlock the story within
Author: Alan Watt

Alan Watt wrote the first draft of his novel Diamond Dogs, in just under 90 days, and later sold the North American rights for $500,000 to Little, Brown in a bidding war. The book became a national bestseller, won a slew of awards and is soon to be a major motion picture. Get the first draft down quickly! The 90-Day Novel is a ... more »day-by-day guide through the process of getting the first draft of your novel onto the page. The 90-Day Novel was workshopped at the LA Writers? Lab over three years and has helped hundreds of writers complete their work. Some of his students have gone on to become bestselling authors and win major literary awards. The 90-Day Novel is structured into three parts. Part One describes the process of getting your story from imagination to the page and prepares you, through a few simple, powerful writing exercises to access the story within. Part Two is a series of 90 daily letters that will guide you through the hero?s journey. Writers often tend to get stuck halfway through, mired somewhere in their ?idea? of the story. The 90-Day Novel will show you how and why you got stuck, and how to get to the end of your first draft. Part Three is a compendium of stream-of-consciousness writing exercises designed to access the primal forces in your story, as well as the Structure Questions that will invite up images at key stages in your hero?s journey. The 90-Day Novel teaches you how to distill your plot to its nature, and clarifies the mysterious process of assembling vague disparate images into a coherent narrative. Working in this way, story structure (which is often taught as a formula) becomes a springboard, setting you free to explore the far reaches of your imagination. ?There are no rules,? Watt tells us. ?Stay out of your left brain, and let your unconscious do the heavy lifting.? The 90-Day Novel clearly articulates the process of marrying the rigor of story structure to the wildness of the imagination, and in the process reminds us of something we so often forget...that writing is actually fun.

For info on writing workshops, go to www.lawriterslab.com. ?For years I have been fascinated by the industry legend of how Alan Watt wrote his masterful novel, Diamond Dogs, in 90 days. Now, at last, he shares his secrets. The 90-Day Novel is smart, insightful, thorough and wise. It?s also one of the best books on novel-writing I have ever seen. I feel confident that anyone who takes this program seriously will have a solid manuscript to show for the effort.? - David Liss (national bestselling author and Edgar winner for A Conspiracy of Paper) ?Let Al Watt take your heart by its hand and get your 90-Day Novel onto the page. It will be the experience of a lifetime.? - Viki King (author of How to Write a Movie in 21 Days: The Inner Movie Method) The 90-Day Novel is the real deal. Alan Watt gets down to it by brilliantly articulating the fusion of the muse to the rigor of story structure. If you?ve been struggling with your story, or really want to get dangerous on the page, read this book. Follow it, and you will have a first draft in 90 days.? - Eric Miles Williamson (Pen finalist for his novel East Bay Grease, and author of Say It Hot) ?The 90-Day Novel provides the inspiration, focus, and structure that every novelist needs to finally put down on paper what has been alive inside him, perhaps for years, struggling to get out.? - Allison Burnett (author of Christopher, finalist for Pen Center USA?s Literary Award in Fiction)
