Page One to Done: Finish Your Novel in 30 Days with the Fast Drafting Method

Finally finish the first draft of your novel with a method that maximizes efficiency, speed, and joy.

After months (or years) of writing, are you left with nothing but a folder full of false starts? Do you have a novel you were once excited to write but abandoned after only a few chapters--or even halfway through? Are you trapped in an endless cycle of rewrites, self-doubt, and perfectionism?

Enter the Novel Fast Drafting Method: a proven approach for getting your book out of your head and onto the page in as little as 30 days. Jessica Brody, best-selling author of Save the Cat! Writes a Novel, will guide you step-by-step through her 3-phase process that's helped thousands of writers finish their first drafts in weeks instead of years:

• Mindset: Adopt the mindset of a "chronic finisher" and overcome the destructive beliefs that cause 97% of writers to quit
• Preparation: Build your story's foundation, set achievable goals, and prepare both your day-to-day life and writing schedule for success
• Drafting: Master proven strategies to maintain consistent momentum, discover the story faster, and finish in record time--so you're ready to revise with confidence and clarity

With fast drafting, you'll gain the mental space, freedom, and motivation to easily and more joyfully finish every writing project you start--faster than you ever thought possible.
