Synopsis

“Writing is the fun part. Productivity is just a symptom of the practice.”

It’s time to define your writing process. If you want to understand why you get stuck and how to develop your own routine, this collection has 74 tools for you to learn from and reference along your writing journey.

Writing doesn’t have to be a struggle. Inspiration can be endless and the words can be fluid. When you sit down at your computer to write, you can shift your experience from stagnation and frustration to ease and curiosity.

With gentle guidance, personal anecdotes, and honest advice, these essays cover the stages of brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, and publishing a book.

Are you ready to form a new relationship to writing?

Readers will learn how to:

• play nice with their perfectionism
• safely abandon what’s no longer working
• make serious progress on a book-length work
• develop a consistent writing practice without relying on shame
• evaluate a body of work and set publishing goals

Look behind the scenes of one writer’s process, and take some strategies back to your own work.
