Book in a Month: The Fool-proof System for Writing a Novel in 30 Days
by Victoria Lynn, Ph.D. Schmidt
I'm still on the first 30 days. :) And yes, I would recommend it for aspiring novelist. Also, it would be a good idea to get "Make a Scene: Crafting a Powerful Story One Scene at a Time" by Jordan Rosenfeld with this book.
