No Plot? No Problem!1
2Chris Baty3
Was it a good book ? Depending on your reason for its purchase. To me it was a good book to be reading for the context. It was simple spread, easy and provoking to read and sparked my muse many times from beginning to end. It was a intriguing book to read about -Chris Baty's creation.4
Who would you recommend it to? I would recommend it to writers of any age who are participating in any of the Nanowrimo contests, or anyone wanting to be reassured that you can indeed a first draft novel in a month. Any time of the year.
What did you like about it? I liked the way the book was structured. It gave an insight into Nanowrimo history. Chris Baty's own struggled on Nano and gave helpful tips, exercises and random facts and fun passages of other first time and advanced Nano writers. I liked lay out of each weekly chapter. I also admired the fun, yet serious tone and style Chris portrayed in No Plot, No Problem.5
While I did not read it week by week. I finished it in the fourth week of August. It was a comfortable read. Not a guidebook or self help book, but a novel length pep talk. It was inspirational.6
What did you dislike? Surprisingly there was nothing I really disliked about the book.[ I am not being biased] I thought that Chris was a woman. If anything I disliked closing the book because I connected with Chris and I wanted him on my shoulder, or with his foot up my ass pep talking me into finishing my August Nano novel. I wanted more.7
Tell us what you thought of the book overall? I thought it was a helpful non fiction muse igniter in the form of a book you can pop into your handbag. It's a brilliant, witty companion that I myself will read ritual year after year in the tradition of Nanowrimo. 8
This book is a must have for beginners and advanced participants and people wanting to write a novel under a month long deadline.9
