One thought on “Troubleshooting Your Novel”

1. You need to update your website as I recently bought this book in a store!

   While I’m here I’d like to say I found the book immensely useful, it helped me think up solutions for problems I already knew about and made me feel pretty optimistic about other parts. I don’t agree with the bit about trimming off as much as you can after the climax, both from a reader’s and from a writer’s perspective; if I’ve suffered with characters for 300 pages I want to get a share of their happiness, too. So that’s my nitpick. Other than that this book held a lot of help for the craft and, unexpectedly, a lot of truth about what it means to be human. It was worth the money I spent on it.
