Review
"These brilliant essays illuminate the art of writing in a way that I have never seen before." -- Damon Knight, author of Creating Short Fiction
Synopsis
For any writer who has felt daunted by the demands of the daily battle with the page, this book provides reassurance and insight. Appealing to your head and heart, an award-winning fiction writer offers understanding and practical advice on facing a writer's difficulties. Personal stories drawn from two decades of writing experience alternate with psychological theory and anecdotes from the lives of other established writers. Unlike most writing books, the book doesn't just offer therapy for those times when things aren't going well. Instead, it presents hands-on things you can do to jump-start the process and get the words flowing again. Rogers helps you through the minefields of criticism, rejection, and money (or lack thereof!) while demonstrating techniques for feeling successful and inspired even when the day's writing isn't going well. Funny, thoughtful, and always lively, Word Work will give any writer, beginner or professional, a road map to greater productivity, confidence, and satisfaction.
