The devil chosen for the makeover, though, has other ideas. The problem with novels is that you can't sit down in one day and complete one from start to finish.
Novels are long.
Generally, a salable length is between 90,000 and 150,000 words . . . These are the techniques that have worked for me. First, know how it ends. Back in my days of thirty-page novel starts that never went anywhere, I never knew how the story would end. It was only when I figured this key point out that I finished a novel.
