Have you researched this creative writing course? Is it for You? There are some excellent books on how to write and the aspects of the novel.

'The Elements of Style' (Fourth Edition) by William Strunk jr. and E. B. White (Charlotte's Web)

'Learning to Write Fiction from the Masters' by Barnaby Conrad (In my opinion the best creative writing guide on the planet)

'Solutions for Novelists - The Secrets of a Master Editor' by Sol Stein. (Sol was a friend of Barnaby Conrad)

'Sol Stein on Writing' by Sol Stein.

'The Art and Craft of Novel Writing' by Oakley Hall.

'How to Read and Why' by Professor Harold Bloom.

You can get cheap copies on Amazon.
