HOW TO WRITE A NOVEL

Teacher:[rachelah]




   Hello, I am [rachelah], and I have been writing for a few years now. I have either written down, typed up, or are still brewing about two dozen novels. Granted that the first couple are pretty cheesy, and some are only a few pages long, the idea is there.
   In this class, I will outline how to write a novel. You cannot come here knowing nothing save for the fact that you want to write or are bored. You MUST have an non-stolen idea. If you do not have an idea that is yours and not a knockoff or stolen property, then you can still take this course, but do not expect to come out of this with a publishable novel. It probably will not happen. Even for those of you who have an idea or many, you may not come out of this with a book, but you will leave with the knowledge of what makes a good book, and how to get there.
  
   Any questions you may have can either be placed in the 'Comments' section below, or sent to me at my elftown address.

Lessons
Until such a time when someone has the time to actually write lessons, I leave you with two things;

1) Should you need me for anything specific, I am always available, though it may take me a little while to reply. My home email is midnightshadow696@yahoo.com
Feel free to use it.

2) Writing is about creating life. Essentially, no one can tell you how to write what is inside of you already, we can simply help to bring it out a little. This is what I, or indeed anyone more qualified than I, am here for.
You don't need anyone to tell you how to write the words you already have, you just might need someone to help you polish your words so someone else(I.e. a publisher) likes them.

However, I write because I love to create life.
I love the escape I feel when I can say what happens, when circumstances are in my control.
This, and so much more, is writing.

I remain, ever yours,
~Rachelah

News
I've left a pointer or two.
Sorry there are no solid lessons, life has changed drastically since I planned this initially.

For the time being, I think my lessons shall consist of anyone with a specific question emailing me said question, and I shall reply in a lesson format when I can. I promise I will try to guide you better.
Thank you for your patience.
