Writing a novel can feel daunting, but really, it's just a longer story. With short stories, the idea matters a lot more than it does in a novel. In novels, it's about the characters. Plot, yes, but the plot doesn't matter unless we care about the characters. Here is a 400 page lined book for you to take a shot at writing a novel. The cool thing is that when you finish, it will already be in book form! Sure, it will be handwritten, but if you love it, you can type it up for your second draft.
