View this email online if it doesn't display correctly Finish the Plan Your Novel mini-course + Win Prizes!   August 12, 2015 Hi Friend,  Hope your writing is going well! I know sometimes though it's hard to get started on your novel. That's why I created this free mini-course. Students are saying: "I had a bit of trouble condensing [my story], but after sleeping on it, I could follow your example and cut some words." "I found [the plot spinner] easy to use and the formula you site is amazing. Having a general synopsis this quickly is just pure beauty! I can refine it later, but this is a great start to the story." If you haven't already, sign up here: http://bit.ly/miniPYN I look forward to having you in the course. I am running a special giveaway!
