The Agile Writer Method can help the beginner writer create a first-draft novel in six months. The process of getting from a blank page to a full manuscript is based on the writings of experts in the field and years of interaction with writers of all skill levels. The student will create a Storyboard (or plan) that will plot out their story from beginning to end. Unlike other approaches that promise a novel in 30 days, the Agile Writer Method sets attainable goals. The Storyboard is a plan that allows the student to write ten pages a week for 26 weeks and complete a first draft. The Agile Writer Method strives to remove all the questions that only serve to block the beginning writer from getting started, such as: How many words will the novel be? How many pages? How long will it take me to write it? Where do I introduce the Hero, the Opposition, and where will the climax occur? Be Agile!
