What it is about
You have finally decided to put pen to paper and live out your dream of becoming an author. You sit down at your desk; cup of tea ready, and a stack of paper with your lucky pen at hand. It’s time to write your first novel. In A Novel Idea you'll use a series of roll tables to plan your novel, from the Genre and tropes that feed into the story, exploring main characters and their motivations, all the way to designing the cover art. Add as much detail as you'd like and who knows, maybe you'll uncover the stepping stones to writing a bestselling novel.
