Don't make the same mistakes that so many novice authors make and create a novel plan that will ensure the quality of your novel!

My name is Matthew Dewey and I am a writer. It is hard to say when my passion for writing began, but if I can recall it all started back in primary school. A small child with not much to say, but plenty to write, or in most cases scribble, across a page. From there writing became a hobby, moving on to become a part-time job writing articles on various subjects from technology to programming. Suddenly, the spark was ignited and I wrote my first novel. From there I was hooked onto something that was akin to a calling.

Enough monologue, it is time to tell you what this course is worth to you. First, That being said, this course was created with the express intention to teach the fundamentals of creating a plan for your novel. In my rising through the writing world I found that information was handed freely, but not with enough dedication and forethought. The advice lacking and the examples poor. I decided to push through and after several years developed my own toolkit that is simple and multipurpose. The first and most important lesson I learned was how not to plan a novel. From there I experimented and found out what you should do.

In addition to the research, I also write from experience, having written several articles on the subject as well.

I will show you how to:

• Turn a dream into an idea
  
  
• Turn an idea into a plot
  
  
• Refine that plot
