Circa Writing a Novel Discbound Notebook

Many talk about writing a novel, says acclaimed writing instructor Sue Viders, but few actually do it. Her new Circa® workbook can help make it happen. In Writing A Novel, Viders leads writers on a journey of creative exploration in this comprehensive step-by-step guide. The ingenious exercises and brainstorming worksheets she’s developed are designed to unlock the imagination and unleash creativity, and they’ve been proven effective for choosing a genre, developing a theme, building characters and plotting a compelling story. (And did we mention that they’re fun?) Breezy, informal and conversational, this is like a master class with the instructor herself, a concentrated, guided brainstorm designed to get the novice writer’s creative juices flowing.

Some Writer’s Advice from Sue:

If you’re really going to write that novel, you are going to need PENCILS and a good ERASER. (In fact, I strongly recommend doing this workbook in pencil!) Also, I urge you to take advantage of the Circa functionality of this book—add and rearrange pages, enhance it with accessories and larger-size discs, and use a Circa punch to secure loose sheets, ideas torn from magazines, computer printouts, etc. You can keep all your writing ideas in one place with the Circa discbound system.
