What's The Right Way?

 

Not only do I torment myself with my Paranormal Romance Writing class (who really wants to go to school *me raising my hand and waving it wildly*), but now I'm reading a book by Lewis Jorstad to see what his point of view is on writing a book.

I will tell you that I am intrigued by the notion that a book can be written in 10 days. (Please keep in mind that this is the first draft!) Luckily he was smart enough to put a caveat in there giving those of us who are a little sticker shocked that there are multiple ways to work his system. I'm going for a "The Ten WEEK Draft!" method instead.  If he is as good as his website makes him out to be (crossing toes, fingers, and hair on this one) then I'll have a rough first draft before my trip to Puerto Rico in February. I'll even have a full month to work on edits before I have to slow down.

I worry though, being a first-time author and all, is this the right way or am I going down the right path? Is his the one or is there another? But so far, I think that I like the 'cut of his jib' (as my grandpa - or maybe his grandpa - would have said). The course I've been taking through Universal Class has been showing me all kinds of people on the net that I never would have run across without them, "THANK YOU, CLASS!"
