One of the most difficult things to do for most people is to start a book. They are going to research for many years and years yet the blank page stares back at them from the computer screen, howling in mock defiance. For other people it isn’t starting that is hard, but completing a manuscript and getting it out to the general public. Nobody is ever guaranteed that their manuscript will be released, except for perhaps for best-selling authors such as Stephen King or Dean Koontz, but the plain reality is that if you don’t complete it as well as expose it to someone like a authors agent or a book publisher then it’s going to be 100% guaranteed never to make it big (or small).
Penning a novel in ninety days could be done if you have some tools at your disposal. Since the main setback to the majority of writers is procrastination, there is an online website which actually can aid you in getting at least 30 or 40 pages completed and published online. The internet site is called Hubpages and many aspiring writers, myself included, have made use of them to construct the start of their books.
The great thing about Hubpages (www.hubpages.com) is the fact that it forces you to write. How does it work, you might ask. Hubpages basically gives the author a blank page to work with. You can write anything you like on it and have it posted in seconds. You can even monetize it as well as generate some cash with Google Adsense but mostly it is for blogs and there is a lot of really poor writing there. Because there are few rules, a lot of hackers go on there and use it for clutter. The great thing about publishing fictional stories on hubpages.com is that you could start with chapter one for instance, finish it on the fly in about an hour, publish it, then you’re stuck and have to write as well as submit part two or else be branded a liar of sorts.
For anal types this works well and forces you to write something every day and make it good enough to publish. Eventually you’ll have 5 to 10 of these pages, each about 1000 to 2000 words long. You could theoretically publish the whole 200 to 400 page novel like that, but you would be in effect, giving away the publishing. The excellent thing is that not only could you get responses (and in case the story plot is good, you would) from other Hubbers as they are called, but you could gauge for yourself if the narrative merits further expansion or if it’s just a great short story. You could also take the 30 or 40 pages which you have already written and plug in additional details, back stories, sub-plots, character studies, and so on, and use that as the structure (more detailed than a simple outline) for your final book. Writing a novel in 90 days then becomes plausible. You will not complete the whole book in 3 months unless it is terrible, but you could certainly structure and put large portions of the novel into a workable form.
Writing a novel is similar to shaping a figurine using clay or chiseling it out of stone. In the case of a novel however you need to make the stone. That is the main body of the writing. The challenge with many if not most authors is that as they compose they get obsessed with polishing what has come well before. By penning as well as posting in Hubpages you prevent that trap and crank out huge sections in bunches. Before long you’ve got 30 or 40 or more relatively finished pages in front of you, and that my friends, is an excellent start to any full length novel.
