Following on the heels of Lisa Cron's breakout first book, Wired for Story, this writing guide reveals how to use cognitive storytelling strategies to build a scene-by-scene blueprint for a riveting story. It’s every novelist’s greatest fear: pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into writing hundreds of pages only to realize that their story has no sense of urgency, no internal logic, and so is a page one rewrite. The prevailing wisdom in the writing community is that there are just two ways around this problem: pantsing (winging it) and plotting (focusing on the external plot). Story coach Lisa Cron has spent her career discovering why these methods don’t work and coming up with a powerful alternative, based on the science behind what our brains are wired to crave in every story we read (and it’s not what you think). In Story Genius Cron takes you, step-by-step, through the creation of a novel from the first glimmer of an idea, to a complete multilayered blueprint—including fully realized scenes—that evolves into a first draft with the authority, richness, and command of a riveting sixth or seventh draft.
This book captures not only my journey from Seattle to Brooklyn and back, but the emotions that, on a daily basis drove so much of my behavior. Laced with the adventures of my rich life as a teacher, real estate agent and mom, I seemed to be able to glean from the past as I navigated towards the future. Always finding the silver lining in each crossroad, the entries are short, raw and real and even manage to find humor amidst the trials. My writing has been my best friend and continues to be as I take each day's ups and downs and write until I find solace and acceptance of who I am and who I am is complete as-is. Perfectly imperfect! My hope is that you embark on this emotional journey with me, laugh a little and ponder a little on what it means to be human and to love yourself in the process!

Discover the Difference Between a So-So Manuscript and a Novel Readers Can't Forget We've all read them: novels by our favorite authors that disappoint. Uninspired and lifeless, we wonder what happened. Was the author in a hurry? Did she have a bad year? Has he lost interest altogether? Something similar is true of a great many unpublished manuscripts. They are okay stories that never take flight. They don't grip the imagination, let alone the heart. They merit only a shrug and a polite dismissal by agents and editors. It doesn't have to be that way. In The Fire in Fiction, successful literary agent and author Donald Maass shows you not only how to infuse your story with deep conviction and fiery passion, but how to do it over and over again. The book features: • Techniques for capturing a special time and place, creating characters whose lives matter, nailing multiple-impact plot turns, making the supernatural real, infusing issues into fiction, and more. • Story-enriching exercises at the end of every chapter to show you how to apply the practical tools just covered to your own work. • Rich examples drawn from contemporary novels as diverse as The Lake House, Water for Elephants, and Jennifer Government to illustrate how various techniques work in actual stories. Plus, Maass introduces an original technique that any novelist can use any time, in any scene, in any novel, even on the most uninspired day...to take the most powerful experiences from your personal life and turn those experiences directly into powerful fiction. Tap into The Fire in Fiction, and supercharge your story with originality and spark!
Most of these poems are feelings and emotions, which each and every one of us feels at one point or another. These are just a few emotions that were expressed by several people. It was created in hopes of helping people or just to let the public know that they aren't the only ones who feel this way. I just hope that reading these poems will help someone out there. Just remember that we're not the only people who think that we are the only ones going through these difficult times.
This unique book focuses on the healing potential of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum rather than on the medical aspects.
