I want to write a novel. Science fiction, in particular. Yes, I'm one of those geeky guys. And no, I'm not talking about being Heinlein or L. Neil Smith, writing serious books weighted down with political meaning and philosophy, but also backed up with good story-telling. No, I just want to write something fun and pleasurable to read --"escapist literature."

The problem is that I don't know where to begin. Writing a novel is a lot different than writing a blog, with its relatively short posts. I'd need to plot out a story, develop some good characters, and then actually write the darn thing!. That sounds like a lot of work, since my strong suit is not creative writing.

Not long ago, I came across a website that says it can teach me how to write a book in just 28 days. It claims that if I follow its plan I can complete the book while writing only one single hour a day -- and in bursts of no more than five minutes. That is astounding. And they do offer a money-back guarantee if you don't have a publishing contract within three months.

Why don't you drop by WriteQuickly.com and take a look -- and then tell me what you think.
