What Lindsay decided the afternoon her kids were out

Lindsay Lake's turning point came on an ordinary afternoon, when her parents took her three kids out and left her alone with her thoughts. As a single mum with a romance novel she had dreamed of since 16, she decided that day to learn how real novelists work. Her method is called The Hurricane Method:

The writing claim that starts arguments

Plenty of writers argue with Lindsay Lake about this, and she knows it: she says writing can be fast. She's just as clear that a big fantasy takes far longer than the romances she writes. Her case, and her methods, are here:

The ending Jackson couldn't find for two years

For over two years, a fantasy writer called Jackson could not find the ending to his novel. Lindsay Lake gave him a technique she calls the Twisted Climax, and she says he had it within three days. Read about it here:

What the writing books leave out

Lindsay Lake says every writing guru she read taught what to do and never how to do it. So she built a step-by-step course around the how, from the outline to the blurb on the back cover:

The afternoon Lindsay decided to write her novel

The day Lindsay Lake's husband said he was leaving her for another woman, she had three children, a minimum-wage job and a romance novel she had been trying to write since she was about 16.

For months she couldn't face writing at all. Then one afternoon her parents took the kids out, and as she lay on the couch in an empty house, she decided to find out what successful novelists do that she wasn't doing.

She says her next novel took her 14 days to write, which she's clear is her romance pace. You can read her story, and the method behind it, on her page:

Lindsay's 14 days, and the warning she puts next to it

A lot of writers push back when Lindsay Lake talks about speed. She writes romance, and she says she finishes those novels in under 14 days.

She adds her own warning straight after: "Writing a 'Harry Potter' novel takes a lot longer than a 'romance' novel."

My own view is that the hours most writers lose go on not knowing what happens next, and her course has a named technique for that and for the other places drafts stall. Judge her case for yourself here:

Why so many novels stall halfway

If a room full of writers held up their unfinished novels, a lot of those drafts would stop somewhere in the middle, after a strong start and before an ending the writer can already picture.

Lindsay Lake built a technique for the moment a draft runs out of steam. She named it the Tidal Wave Technique, and she says it floods you with ideas for moving the story forward.

It's one of the named techniques in her course, The Hurricane Method:

She says she has written over 50 books under other names

Private Seduction, from the 'Hideaway of Desires' series, is the novel Lindsay Lake puts her own name to. She says she has also written over 50 bestsellers under pen names, as a contract writer.

When readers started asking her for help, she put her methods into a course: techniques for outlining, dialogue, endings and editing, plus the publishing side and a full audio edition.

It's called The Hurricane Method, and it comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee:

What happens after "The End"?

Finishing the draft is only part of what Lindsay Lake's course covers.

Alongside her writing techniques, The Hurricane Method covers editing (the Easy Refining Template), the back-cover blurb (the Blurb Generator) and publishing (the Publishing Power Pack), with a bonus report on Kindle self-publishing.

It takes you from a finished draft to a book readers can buy:
