Summary

“A novella compresses the world with a short story’s focus, but it explores that smaller space with a novel’s generosity.”—Josh Weil, author of The New Valley: Novellas 
 
While the novella has existed as a distinct literary form for over four hundred years, Writing the Novella is the first craft book dedicated to creating this intermediate-length fiction. Innovative, integrated journal prompts inspire and sustain the creative process, and classic novellas serve as examples throughout. Part 1 defines the novella form and steers early decision-making on situation, character, plot, and point of view. Part 2 provides detailed directions for writing the scenic plot points that support a strong but flexible narrative arc. Appendix materials include a list of recommended novellas, publishing opportunities, and blank templates for the story map, graphs, and charts used throughout the book. By turns instructive and inspirational, Writing the Novella will be a welcome resource for new and experienced writers alike.

    Learn Conversational Haitian Creole Vol. 2 is an audio course for beginners or for anyone who struggles with becoming fluent in Haitian Creole. The focus of this course is to practice speaking conversational Haitian Creole from the very first lesson. Each lesson contains useful everyday phrases related to a specific topic. 
In these lessons, you’ll be introduced to several “conversation connectors”. Phrases like “as a matter of fact”, “frankly speaking”, “as you already know” and more. By using such phrases, your conversations will have a more natural flow. You will also expand your vocabulary and talk about daily activities, work, plans, and needs. 
Based on techniques and strategies that make language learners succeed: 
Learn in short bursts every day. Each lesson takes about 10–15 minutes to complete. 
Learn in context. Isolated words or random sentences won’t get you far. By learning phrases related to a specific topic or situation, you will see much better results. 
Focus on high-frequency words. Starting with the most frequently used words will boost your comprehension and communication in your target language. 
Review the material. Repeating the phrases at certain specified intervals is a powerful technique to help your memory absorb and recall what you have learned. 
Listen to native speakers. All the phrases are translated and spoken by native speakers.
