Chris Baty, motivator extraordinaire and instigator of a wildly successful writing revolution, spells out the secrets of writing—and finishing—a novel. Every fall, thousands of people sign up for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), which Baty founded, determined to (a) write that novel or (b) finish that novel in—kid you not—30 days. Now Baty puts pen to paper himself to share the secrets of success. With week-specific overviews, pep "talks," and essential survival tips for today's word warriors, this results-oriented, quick-fix strategy is perfect for people who want to nurture their inner artist and then hit print! Anecdotes and success stories from NaNoWriMo winners will inspire writers from the heralding you-can-do-it trumpet blasts of day one to the champagne toasts of day thirty. Whether it's a resource for those taking part in the official NaNo WriMo event, or a stand-alone handbook for writing to come, No Plot? No Problem! is the ultimate guide for would-be writers (or those with writer's block) to cultivate their creative selves.

    I read this book for NaNoWriMo 2008. I think anyone who wants to write a novel would get something out of reading this book, not just for NaNoWriMo. It's a great way to talk about doing a first draft. Its also pretty amusing at times. I wish my characters in my rough draft were that funny. The problem is, sometimes it's a little too much funny filler material and not enough material with meaning. Also, there are sections of the book printed in light gray on a dark gray background which are pretty much impossible to read. Those parts I ended up skipping over.
