Hi, I'm Edward Mullen—author, blogger, podcaster, and some other stuff. Having over a decade of writing experience, I've learned a few things. That's why I wanted to share with you some practical advice on how to write a novel.

This book focuses largely on the mechanics of putting together a book from coming up with the idea, creating and outline, planning, setting a writing schedule, and so much more.

The last half of the book talks about my writing process and some of the techniques I have learned along the way. As I continue to learn, I will keep adding to this book, so be sure to check back periodically for updated versions.

While this is how I write, I do not want to make it seem as though this is the only way to write. You may find different techniques or approaches that I have yet to discover. Nevertheless, this book should give you some insight into how a professional writer works and at the very least, give you some ideas for how to formulate a process that works best for you.
