You're an aspiring writer. Maybe you've just discovered your love of words and dream of being a novelist someday. Maybe you've been filling notebooks with science-fiction stories since middle school. Maybe you're contemplating a liberal arts degree, but you don't know what the heck you're going to do with it. The last thing you need is another preachy writing manual telling you...
You're an aspiring writer. Maybe you've just discovered your love of words and dream of being a novelist someday. Maybe you've been filling notebooks with science-fiction stories since middle school. Maybe you're contemplating a liberal arts degree, but you don't know what the heck you're going to do with it. The last thing you need is another preachy writing manual telling you how you should write.
This book isn't a writing manual. It is a series of candid and irreverent essays on the writing life, from a writer who's lived it. Kerri Majors shares stories from her own life that offer insights on the realities all writers face: developing a writing voice, finding a real job (and yes, you do need to find one), taking criticism, getting published, and dealing with rejection.
Don't have enough time to write? Learn how to plan your days to fit it all in. Not sure how your guilty pleasures and bad habits translate into literature? Kerri explains how soap operas and eavesdropping can actually help your writing. Need a reader for your first novel? Find a writing buddy or a writing group that will support you. Nervous about submitting your first piece? Learn from Kerri's own roller coaster journey to find an agent and get published. This Is Not a Writing Manual is the writing memoir for young writers who want to use their talents in the real world.

在残酷现实中坚持写作
《写作是什么》:如果你爱写作,那就一直坚持下去吧
写作是什么:是爱好,是工作,是事业,你把它当成什么它就是什么!
写作是一件不那么轻松却易于取悦的小事
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
这是一本我从同事的书架上拿来的小书,不得不承认,色彩心理学确有其道理,黄色的封皮很容易吸引读者的目光,并使其被锁定。此书的副标题也很讨巧,“给爱写作的你”,我想每一个翻开此书的人都是这样界定自己的叭,有了心理上先天的代入和接近,剩下的就是打开它和阅读它了。 ... (展开)让写作成为一种生活方式
