Extreme Novel-Writing Explained

Chronicle Books

You can apply the term "extreme" to just about anything. 

Witness "extreme sports" and "extreme couponing." 

But "extreme noveling?"  Yep. 

Chris Baty invented the practice, known through National Novel Writing Month. 

His tips on the practice are contained in his own non-fiction book, No Plot? No Problem! Revised: A Low-stress, High-velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days.

Chris Baty pays us a visit; maybe we'll finish a chapter during the hour.
