Musings, Thoughts and Goals for the
Budding Author from
Jumpstarting Your Inner Novelist!
After teaching Creative Writing and
Publishing at Evening at Emory University Writer’s Studio for nine years and
writing four published novels, including a national gold medal winner in the
fiction genre, I decided to record my thoughts and ideas about creating
successful novels and weave them into a practical guide for writers.
During my years at Evening at Emory, I helped students fine-tune their skills concerning all stages of the writing process: from first draft to the day of publication. This guide, co-authored by my friend and editor, Dennis De Rose, will provide you with a set of tools to help you address issues such as developing captivating scenes, creating vivid descriptive specific details, living in the setting, editing and grammar and other crucial elements to help you write a potentially successful novel.
Dwayne Morris: A Former Evening at Emory Student’s Perspective
"When I sat in a
big, chilly classroom and heard this powerfully-built, swift talking
man say that in four months, I will have written a novel, I thought, he’s crazy. I'd been nibbling around,
working with disjointed stories, random scenes, and one-dimensional characters
for years and was lucky to cobble together a 4,000-word short story. I'd have
to see it to believe it, a complete novel in four months.
Four months later, another student and I were laying out dozens of finished chapters on tables in that same refrigerated classroom. While doing this, that same swift-talking man, Julius Thompson, chuckled as he snapped photos of his graduates, each one beaming over their first completed novels. Seeing is believing."
—D.A. Morris
