I’ve been teaching English for over two decades, so putting together a writing book seemed a natural progression. Many of the charts and reference materials were items I created for my own writing. Use Prompt Me Novel to map your novel. This book is full of tips and graphic organizers to keep you moving in the right direction.
I’ve been sharing them with my writer friends for years, so they encouraged me to add to what I had, and get it out to the general public. I hope you find it as useful as I have.
Note: I use one of these books for each of my novel projects. It helps keep me organized.
