Become the Writer
you want to be...
If you long for a satisfying writing life, this forthcoming handbook is for you.
With firm but gentle guidance, Amanda Le Rougetel shows how you can become the Writer you want to be. This handbook is about embracing the identity of Writer and the practice of writing. It includes practical writing advice and meaningful writing activities, some philosophy, excerpts from Amanda's published work on the craft of writing, and stories from her own writing life -- all designed to help you shape your identity as Writer and, thus, to get your stories onto the page.
Why a handbook?
Even when it's the only thing we want to do, writing can be a strange and lonely undertaking. Having the confidence of a strong writing practice -- and feeling empowered with a solid writing identity -- can make the difference between joy and despair when putting words on the page. This handbook offers practical and friendly advice and stories that take you into that world where the happiest writers live -- a world where creating stories and crafting satisfying pieces of writing makes sense and brings joy to those doing this hard work. Whether you have spent years writing or are only just starting out, this handbook gives you gentle (but firm) guidance into your own best writing life.
