novel writing approach
Posted: 22 Jul 2008, 05:41
Hello all,
I'm wondering how did writers 100+ years ago approach the writing of a novel?
I am wondering how writers like Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Mark Twain wrote their novels. Did they just put a pen to paper and start writing or did they make an outline. There is so much information today about how to write, I would like to know how writers many years ago approached the craft of writing a novel when there was no information out on how to write a novel. And how long did it take writers back then to write novels?
Thank in advance.
