The First Five Drafts Stacey Carroll

This is the no-fluff, serious writer's guide to getting your novel started, edited and finished. The five draft method is designed to help you reduce your chances of over-editing, which can stall your writing process and cause you to either never deem your novel finished or ruin it in any number of ways, including inputting too many slow sections, taking out all the interesting details and doing too much 'showing' versus 'telling'. In this writer's self-help book, you will learn how to write your first draft and revise your manuscript to the point where it's ready for self-publication or submission to agents and/or publishers.
