Book Reviews of No Plot? No Problem!: A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days

Book Review: Phooey!
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this book when I was feeling blocked and planning to participate in NaNoWriMo. I hated it. It was filled with ersatz information and was childish and unprofessional. I read it in about half an hour. Don't waste your money on this one. Go buy a coffee and a bunch of file cards or paper and just write.

Summary of No Plot? No Problem!: A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days

Chris Baty, motivator extraordinaire and instigator of a wildly successful writing revolution, spells out the secrets of writing -- and finishing -- a novel. Every fall, thousands of people sign up for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), which Baty founded, determined to (a) write that novel or (b) finish that novel in -- kid you not -- 30 days. Now Baty puts pen to paper himself to share the secrets of success. With week-specific overviews, pep "talks," and essential survival tips for today's word warriors, this results-oriented, quick-fix strategy is perfect for people who want to nurture their inner artist and then hit print! Anecdotes and success stories from NaNoWriMo winners will inspire writers from the heralding you-can-do-it trumpet blasts of day one to the champagne toasts of day thirty. Whether it's a resource for those taking part in the official NaNo WriMo event, or a stand-alone handbook for writing to come, No Plot? No Problem! is the ultimate guide for would-be writers (or those with writer's block) to cultivate their creative selves.
