How To Write a Novel

So I am sitting at home, thinking about how little progress I have made on my novella (I really should give it a working title so I can stop calling it "my novella" and "my novel") when I realize that I have all the tools I need at my fingertips. It is called the internet.

So I googled "How to Write a Novel" and lo and behold... a website entitled "How to Write a Novel in 100 Days." According to this site all I need to be able to do is 1)write sentences, 2)be alert to the world around me, 3)draw from pure emotion, and 4) really want to. Check, check, check, and sorta check.

Here I go -- day 1 -- make a promise that you are going to do it.I, Kelly Ann, hereby solomnly decide, being of sound mind and body, to write a novel of at least 100 pages. Done. Now I have to write as often as I can. Sounds easy enough.
