From Day One, armed with a checklist to test your initial story idea, you can ensure that you have enough conflict, tension, and challenges to keep readers turning the pages. (That’s much better than getting halfway through writing it only to find that your lovely bright shiny idea won’t hold up!) With a plotting checklist at your elbow, you can run through the list of ‘essentials’ to apply to your novel– like character motivation, plausibility, and crisis points, to name just a few of the things you have to consider. What you will find in The Busy Writer’s Book of Checklists: # Six Foundation Checklists: Getting Ideas, Plotting, Characters, Viewpoint, Dialogue, and Scenes. # Three checklists for Setting and Subplots # Four Checklists on Getting Organized: Your time, your workspace, your files, and your projects # Three checklists for starting and running writer’s groups – including a feedback checklist # Four checklists for social networking and websites (Setting up a website or blog, Facebook, Twitter, and establishing your writer’s network) # Three checklists on getting published (researching publishers, writing a synopsis, and publishing on Kindle) In total, there are 23 super-useful checklists—and as a special bonus, writers who buy this book are eligible for a full set of printable checklists that they can use again and again!
