by Nancy Pickard

Seven Steps on the Writer's Path: The Journey from Frustration to Fulfillment Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The blank page, the impossible deadline, the rush of inspiration: There is no profession more maddening or more rewarding than being a writer. Yet surprisingly, all writers pass through the same sequence of stages in the course of their careers. It was this remarkable insight that inspired veteran authors Nancy Pickard and Lynn Lott to write one of the wisest and liveliest guides to the literary life ever penned a volume of astonishing revelation, warm reassurance, brilliant encouragement, and welcome humor. No matter what you write or how much recognition youve received, you are bound to pass through the seven steps on the writers path: Unhappiness, Wanting, Commitment, Wavering, Letting Go, Immersion, and Fulfillment.

Whether youre a wannabe writer or a published literary veteran, youre bound to find this book a source of true delight, vital wisdom, and lasting inspiration.
