As Carolyn See says, writing guides are like preachers on Sunday 'there may be a lot of them, but you can't have too many, and there's always an audience of the faithful. And while "Making a literary life" is ostensibly a book that teaches you how to write, it really teaches...

| 520 | |a As Carolyn See says, writing guides are like preachers on Sunday 'there may be a lot of them, but you can't have too many, and there's always an audience of the faithful. And while "Making a literary life" is ostensibly a book that teaches you how to write, it really teaches you how to make your interior life into your exterior life, how to find and join that community of like-minded souls you're sure is out there somewhere. Carolyn See distills a lifetime of experience as novelist, memoirist, critic, and creative-writing professor into this marvelously engaging how-to book. Partly the nuts and bolts of writing (plot, point of view, character, voice) and partly an inspirational guide to living the life you dream of, "Making a literary life" takes you from the decision to "become" a writer to three months after the publication of your first book. A combination of writing and life strategies (do not tell everyone around you how you yearn to be a writer; send a "charming note" to someone you admire in the industry five days a week, every week, for the rest of your life; find the perfect characters right in front of you), "Making a literary life" is for people not usually considered part of the literary loop: the non'East Coasters, the secret scribblers. With sagacity, a magical sense of humor, and an abiding belief in the possibilities offered to "ordinary" people living "ordinary" lives, Carolyn See has summed up her life's work in a book so beguiling, irreverent, and giddily inspiring that you won't even realize it's changing your life until it already has." --Descripción del editor. | ||
