Booksmith will be welcoming Grant Faulkner to the store for Pep Talks for Writers: 52 Insights and Actions to Boost Your Creative Mojo. Join us!
As Executive Director of National Novel Writing Month, Grant Faulkner knows that the month of November (when NaNoWriMo takes place) is a hotbed of activity, where among a collective consciousness writers dedicate 30 days to writing a 50,000 word novel. Support groups, meet-ups, social media sharing, and news coverage encourage the writers to stick with it. But when the month is over and the holidays arrive, many writers find it hard to keep momentum going. With this in mind Faulkner has written Pep Talks for Writers, a guide to keeping motivated, creative, and productive through 52 insights and actions that can overcome writer’s block, banish boredom, and revitalize creativity.
This handsome handbook gathers a wide range of observations and advice for writers (and creators in general) at any stage of one’s career. Addressing challenges such as starting a new project, going deeper and taking bigger risks, nourishing your muse, conquering creative doubts, leveraging your creative community, and exploring storytelling skills, this guide belongs alongside well-worn references like the dictionary.
Whether writing a debut novel, screenplay, memoir, or business plan, Pep Talks for Writers provides motivation, encouragement, and helpful exercises for writers of all stripes.
