Which 30-Day Novel Writing Plan Is Best? (WD Backlist Smackdown!)
Posted by Jane
 Our staff just recently discovered a comprehensive online review that compares two books from our backlist, First Draft in 30 Days by Karen Wiesner and Book in a Month by Victoria Schmidt. A brief snippet: It’s a tough call on the better book here. From evaluating nothing but the methods and books themselves, I’d personally go with First Draft in 30 Days (because of the career planning chapter, nice list of writer’s block solutions, and the ability to tailor the project for new or existing projects easily).
However, if you’re a more visual person, or you like the extra nudges of probing questions to help you think and re-focus, Book in a Month will probably serve your needs better. I bought both, and don’t regret either purchase. There’s no reason I would suggest that you not consider one or the other, if this kind of project interests you.
