Julia Cameron has been teaching the world about creativity since her seminal book, The Artist’s Way, first broke open the conversation around art. Now, in Write for Life, she turns to one of the subjects closest to her heart: the art and practice of writing.

Over the course of six weeks, Cameron carefully guides readers step by step through the creative process.

This latest guide in the Artist’s Way Series:

• Introduces a new tool and expands on powerful tried and true methods.
• Gently guides readers through many common creative issues ― from procrastinating and getting started, to dealing with doubt, deadlines, and “crazymakers.”
• Will help you reach your goals, whether your project is a novel, poetry, screenplay, standup, or songwriting.

With the learned experience of a lifetime of writing, Cameron gives readers practical tools to start, pursue, and finish their writing project. Write for Life is an essential read for writers who have completed The Artist’s Way and are looking to continue their creative journey or new writers who are just putting pen to paper.

Finally finish the first draft of your novel with a method that maximizes efficiency, speed, and joy-from the author of Save the Cat! Writes a Novel.

After months (or years) of writing, are you left with nothing but a folder full of false starts? Do you have a novel you were once excited to write but abandoned after only a few chapters-or even halfway through? Are you trapped in an endless cycle of rewrites, self-doubt, and perfectionism?

Enter the Novel Fast Drafting Method: a proven approach for getting your book out of your head and onto the page in as little as 30 days. Best-selling author and writing coach Jessica Brody will guide you step-by-step through her 3-phase process that's helped thousands of writers finish their first drafts in weeks instead of years:

• Mindset: Adopt the mindset of a "chronic finisher" and overcome the destructive beliefs that cause 97% of writers to quit
• Preparation: Build your story's foundation, set achievable goals, and prepare both your day-to-day life and writing schedule for success
• Drafting: Master proven strategies to maintain consistent momentum, discover the story faster, and finish in record time-so you're ready to revise with confidence and clarity

With fast drafting, you'll gain the mental space, freedom, and motivation to easily and more joyfully finish every writing project you start-faster than you ever thought possible.

In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and writing guide, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller's life and the challenges it presents. How do we write about the relationships that have formed us? How do we describe our bodies, their desires and traumas? What does it mean to have your writing, or living, dismissed as "navel-gazing"-or else hailed as "so brave, so raw"? And to whom, in the end, do our most intimate stories belong? Drawing on her journey from aspiring writer to acclaimed author and writing professor-via addiction and recovery, sex work and academia-Melissa Febos has created a captivating guide to the writing life, and a brilliantly unusual exploration of subjectivity, privacy, and the power of divulgence. Candid and inspiring, Body Work will empower readers and writers alike, offering ideas-and occasional notes of caution-to anyone who has ever hoped to see their true self reflecting back from the open page. -- .
