Scott Renz Meets the Challenge of Writing a Novel in Thirty Days with Tomor of the Flanderlands: The Chosen One Comes of Age.
Scott Renz wrote a novel in 30 days. It was a totally improvised work. He sat down on September 1st with no characters in mind, no setting, no time or place, and started typing. By September 30th he had a rough draft of a novel and has now published the result, Tomor of the Flanderlands: The Chosen One Comes of Age.
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) January 15, 2006 -- Scott Renz, who can't resist audition announcements for local theater productions has found himself in 38 stage productions.
The week before he was to attend an actor's improv workshop week in the Catskill Mountains put on by Artistic New Directions last August, he found a book in a local Border's book store challenging the reader to write a novel in 30 days (No Plot? No Problem! by Chris Baty). He accepted the challenge and used the month of September as his month to write it.
Using the improv techniques that he learned from renowned instructors and performers like Gary Austin (founder, LA's The Groundlings) who shared ideas on improvisational performance with the students, Scott sat down on September 1st with no characters in mind, no setting, no time or place, and started typing. By September 30th he had a rough draft of a novel. He used the next few months to go back over it again and again cleaning out the typographical errors and awkward phrasings and now has published his book, Tomor of the Flanderlands: The Chosen One Comes of Age
What are we all about? Do we have a mission here on our World? Were we put here for a reason? These are some of the things young Tomor must find out. His World is now in a Dark Age. Many advanced technological ages have come and gone. Will all being finally end during his time? Or can he stop it? Can he make use of the advanced devices buried for eons to help bring the people to a new way of thinking and prevent their eventual downfall? Or will he only repeat the inevitable steps that led to the downfall of all the others?
