Pep Talks for Writers

We writers want so much to write, and yet many of us have great difficulty in actually writing. That's what these pep talks are designed for. Grant Faulkner, the executive director of National Novel Writing Month, is an expert on inspiring writers to write, and to write quickly, and to write well. In this book, Faulkner shares fifty-two insights and actions to jolt a writer's creativity. Some that I loved (and plan to use next year) are:

building a creative communitycavorting...wandering...playing
using your life in your storytrusting in the absurd
*using the secrets of improv in your writing
And, probably most importantly, *logging in the hours.

This is a book I want to keep and reread a month into the year when my writing mojo starts flagging. Thank you, Grant Faulkner, for this book.
