Synopsis

In this collection of anecdotes, lessons, quotes, and prompts, author and writing teacher Barbara Abercrombie provides a delightfully varied cornucopia of inspiration ? nuts-and-bolts solutions, hand-holding commiseration, and epiphany-fueling insights from fellow writers, including Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners and Abercrombie's students who have gone from paralyzed to published.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Through her years teaching writing at UCLA Extension, novelist and essayist Barbara Abercrombie has heard repeatedly that writing is painful, scary, even dangerous. Her students worry they might have to hold themselves accountable for their thoughts and feelings, that they might disappoint or be disappointed, that they might have to tell their secrets, or betray the privacy of those they love. So Abercrombie set out to help writers feel safe, to help them figure out how to write the truth about real events or to transform truth into fiction, to encourage them and help them understand that they aren t alone in their fears. A Year of Writing Dangerously is a book of short pieces to sustain any writer beginner or veteran through a year of writing fiction, memoir, autobiography, or personal essays. Three hundred and sixty-five days of inspiration, teachings, quotes, and anecdotes about other writers, along with weekly writing prompts.
