 How to Write a Million Dollar Adventure Novel   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When I wanted to write a bestselling novel of my own I consulted many of the popular books on writing technique and found that, although they all seemed to contain useful advice, none of them provided any proof to show that the techniques they so eloquently expounded had been used in bestsellers.
But, since my guidebook was meant to be a step-by-step daily guide that I could consult as I wrote a novel, all the material was naturally divided into several distinct stages or steps during the writing process.
If you follow the steps in order and perform the exercises of each step (the part that actually gets you involved with writing your novel) then you will be able to write your own novel quickly and easily.
