    About this ebook

    If you want to learn how to write a novella quickly, then get this step by step guide.

    This book is different.
    This book is hard body.
    This particular how to is specifically designed to open up alternate paths of thinking in one's brain.

    In terms of writing a novella, as long as success is the end result, the methodologies utilized to reach fruition are not important. In other words, there is no strict set of guidelines mandatory for one to follow in order to wow the pundits. Traditional techniques are splendid. Unorthodox skills are fine, too.

    Sometimes, it serves a purpose to be a rebel (with a cause).

    You must stand out as an author. There has to be certain things that distinguish your work from every other writer far and wide whether they be well known or a completely random average Joe from who knows where, U.S.A.

    A surplus of originality spells good vibes to readers...literally...and figuratively!

    When it comes to writing a novella using a freelancing platform, the entire journey is your playground.

    Be honest. Be humble. Be concise. Be clear with your desires.

    As a freelance writer, you will be tasked with submitting proposal to clients for jobs you want to partake in.

    A quick response rate is important in helping to build rapport with prospective employers.

    Clean, crisp samples are also vital to the process.

    Relatability is one of those intangibles that should simply not be done without.

    If you're not then what are you?

      The book doesn't exactly live up to its title, you don't learn how to write a novella in a week, but it is filled with great advice on writing.
      It's like walking along a beach and finding oyster shells. Most are empty but a few hold pearls.
      There are many pearls in this book.

    There are three types of people in this world.

    Truth tellers.

    Liars.

    And, liars who try and masquerade as truth tellers.

    If you are a liar, please stop reading this book, now!

    If you are a liar who masquerades as a truth teller, please stop reading this book, now. Your type is especially harmful to humanity. At least most straight up liars you can see coming from a mile away. Lying to you is like a game where the object is to fool people into perceiving that your word is genuine when in reality you are nothing more than a Two Face (No Harvey Dent).

    Alright, now that we have the pleasantries out of the way, let's go!

    Over thinking is deceitful. It will have you believing you have already made a mistake before you even commit
