14d • Write My Book
DAY 3 - What?
What is y our book about. Now this seems like a fairly easy straight-forward question. But, a lot of writers have trouble telling you what their book is about. We try to tell the ENTIRE story – which, yes, is what your book is about, but this needs to be something you can say in two – three sentences.
If you asked me what my book was about, and I went on and on for 5 -10 minutes (without prodding) I would lose you.
Essentially what your book is about is the main PLOT - what your character wants, what gets in their way, and how they get there.
Your what is your book blurb, your elevator pitch – your FRAMEWORK to keep you focused and on track.
Before you start writing, or even if you’re halfway through – see if you can up with three sentences that describe what your book is about. It should be something your WHO will understand.
Here’s the formula for discovering your WHAT:
· What does my main character want more than anything?
· What’s standing in their way?
· How will they grow, change, or fall apart by the end?
