The Zen Novelist

There’s already tons of stuff written about novel writing on the web. What I’m not going to do is bore you with things that have already been said. So far, I’ve never found a website with the information I wanted or had to discover for myself. Often, I had to go to sources that weren’t involved in writing in order to learn about what I needed, such as the difference between men and women as it relates to a novel.

The problem with that approach is that you don’t get the information from a writer’s perspective and are left to piece together the information yourself. It often takes time, sometimes years, before the full picture is revealed.
