What Are Your Biggest Novel-Writing Challenges?


September 14, 2021
Oakland, CA

Hi Friend,
Writing a novel may seem like a daunting task, feeling like a climb on Mt. Everest rather than a stroll in the hills.

Did you know this is normal?

Even practiced authors with lots of books under their belt face challenges.

In fact, Ernest Hemingway once said writer’s block is the most terrifying challenge he ever faced. If he felt that way, then it’s no surprise you face challenges too.

What challenges do you face?

*Hit reply and let us know.


For Beth, getting started is sometimes hard because she gets distracted by lots of other activities. She also gets stuck writing the middle part of the novel. Yup, every time.

Ezra’s biggest challenge is starting his novel—the ole BIC—butt-in-chair routine.

Ann works hard to balance her love of writing fiction with the need to write nonfiction for a living.

You are not alone.

We are here to help you—and have a webinar just for that.

“You Can Write A Novel: Tips on How to Get Started” webinar 

  • Do you need to come up with ideas for your novel?
  • Do you have ideas for stories but no characters?
  • Or maybe, do you need to get to know your characters better?
If you answered yes to any of the above, then sign up for the no-cost ”You Can Write A Novel: Tips on How to Get Started” webinar here:

https://writersfunzone.com/blog/you-can-write-a-novel-tips-on-how-to-get-started/

Then respond to this email with your biggest fiction-writing challenges.

When you join us you will not only learn how to navigate your challenges, you will also see where other authors steer a path to planning and writing their novel and getting to The End.


Have a happy and creative week!

All my best,

Beth
