Write a Novel in 100 Days

For anyone with a million ideas but not enough time to write them all down, this guide helps even the busiest people finally finish the book they've always dreamed of writing.

Do you dream of writing a novel but can't seem to find the time? Maybe you've started and stalled, or you're waiting for the “perfect” moment that never seems to come.

With humor, proven strategies, and inspiration from your favorite authors, novelist and writing teacher Kim Purcell shows you how to finish your book, even if you only have 15 minutes a day.

In Write a Novel in 100 Days, you'll learn how to:

Build a consistent, joyful writing habit with just 15 “Magic Minutes” a day.

Use a simple four-act structure and 22 essential plot points to keep your story moving.

Turn overwhelm into steady progress with daily exercises that build your skills and nurture creativity.

Beat self-doubt, perfectionism, and writer's block with fast, playful strategies.

Break your novel into short, focused steps and create a complete, compelling draft in 100 days.

Whether it's your first book or your fifth, this guide will help you get your story out of your head and onto the page. Practical, supportive, and full of encouragement, Write a Novel in 100 Days will help you write forward with confidence and finally hold that finished book in your hands.
