Is it time you finally wrote your novel?

No-one tells you how difficult writing a fiction book is.

There’s so much information out there that you don’t even know where to begin in organising your writing life. You need a roadmap to outline the story you have in your head so you can begin writing your story with ease.

Enter Organise your writing life

Are you ready to know where your story is going before you even begin?

There’s a saying that everyone has a book inside them waiting to be written, but no-one elaborates on how to do it. Any advice barely explains how to get the book out of your head and down on paper ready for writing.

With this book, I present the process I use to turn my daydreams into full-length fiction, and I’ll guide you on how you can do the same. Because I don’t believe in clichés, there’s no beating around the bush while giving you nothing substantial to work from.

Ready for your writing life to change?

There’s nothing quite like the frustration of not understanding where you’ve gone wrong.

And most of the time, it’s the little things.

01. You’re staring for hours at a blank page and wondering just where all your ideas have vanished.

02. You’ve started so many drafts but have never made it to the middle of the story because your ideas grow tangents while you draft.

03. You keep forgetting the specific details of your characters and world and go back over your manuscript to find it.

04. You’ve started writing more stories than you can count, and you’re doubting you can even finish one.

But guess what…

I’ve started and abandoned more works of fiction than my physical age squared.

I might say I’ve been writing horror since 2017, but that’s really how long it took me to finish my stories. This book is the culmination of the process that helped me to finish books including Precious Vile ThingsThese Kind of Knaves, Valerian Bone and Crimson Prince.

I’ve been many things in my life, but I’ll always be a writer.

Feature Two

What is a story without characters? In this section, you’ll uncover just who your characters are and why readers won’t forget them.

Me, Yesterday

Hi there, I’m

George Elmer

I kill off characters for a living

You could say I’ve been making up stories since I knew what a story was. You’d be right. And if you’re like me, sometimes you just don’t want to read about some flimsy cookie-cutter heroine having the time of her life getting the tall, dark and handsome billionaire. You want the stories about idiots flailing to solve the problems they brought on themselves. Or something like that.

but it wasn’t always this way.

I didn’t give up attempting to finish a novel, no matter how many stories I abandoned in the process.

It was in my last year at university (BSc with honours in Psychology and Criminology) that I finally completed a novel in the 2017 NaNoWriMo.

Great News!

As I’m fed up with reading material that offers nothing of value, by the end of the book, you’ll have a full-fledged pre-draft roadmap ready to go.

I believe in offering actionable advice, and that’s what this book will give to you. This book isn’t for those wanting an easy way out. I don’t believe in spoon-feeding you entire stories. Quality books are those where the writer cares enough to spend time, effort and emotion on their projects. That said, this book is for writers who are invested in their ideas and take their time crafting their best novel. I dedicate this book to those whose books are passion projects they want to give life to.

  • Creating a writing life that suits you and your needs.
  • Telling people you’ve finished one novel and are now planning the second.
  • Knowing just what serves you and the story you want to tell.
  • Feeling more balanced, and rested, and in alignment with what you’re wanting to create for your life.
  • Writing that novel.

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
