Do you want to build a satisfying writing life?
If you long for a satisfying writing life, this is the handbook for you.
With firm but gentle guidance, Amanda Le Rougetel shows how you can be the Writer you want to be. This is not about how to write; this book is about embracing the identity of Writer and the practice of writing. Filled with stories from her own writing life, the handbook includes practical tips, examples of published writing, and writing activities that will help shape your stories on the page -- and your identity as Writer in your mind, heart and body.
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.
