Sixteen steps & a couple of hundred pages to success
Evan Marshall's book is exactly what I was looking for. If, like me, you have a series of half-formed story ideas floating around your consciousness then the rigid structure suggested by this book will help to coalesce them into a novel. Obviously there are no guarantees of commercial success but following this plan should at least lead to the holy grail of any aspiring novelist: a finished book.
