"A must-read for any aspiring or seasoned writer." --Huffington
Post We all have the call to create. The question is...why don't we
answer it? We all come pre-loaded with a creative spark that drives
us to innovate, explore, express, and make our unique contribution
to the world. Often, though, that drive doesn't get us very far
down the road before it runs right smack into resistance--the
mysterious force that thwarts creativity. But resistance needn't be
the enemy of writing--or any other creative endeavor. Deb Norton's
Part Wild provides fun and practical ways to turn resistance into a
creative asset. Whether it presents as doubt, perfectionism, or
Deb's favorite: a chorus of withering inner critics, the power of
resistance can be leveraged to launch the creative process with
real momentum. Once we harness resistance, we can let our creative
impulses off the leash. Norton has turned a decade of sold-out
writing retreats and private coaching into a process for powering
up your creative ideas. In Part Wild, she shares dozens of
illuminating and effective practices and quick-start prompts that
are guaranteed to get us out of our heads and onto the page. Just
as The Artist's Way gave millions of readers permission to explore
their creative side, Part Wild shows writers of all levels of
experience and skill how to harness the electrifying power of
resistance and get writing.
For devotees of Bird by Bird and The Artist's Way, a memoir-driven
guide to healing through the craft of writing A cinematic
exploration of the writing life by Francesca Lia Block, the
bestselling author of the Weetzie Bat series of magical-realism
novels, The Thorn Necklace offers visceral insights and healing
exercises for the writer who creates as a way to process pain and
adversity. Gently guiding the reader down the write-to-heal path,
Block offers guideposts of awareness for writers, such as how to
find a muse, channeling agony into art, putting chaos into order,
ignoring the inner critic, fostering personal perseverance, and
thriving as an artist in a troubled world. The author also
addresses the intrinsic value of channeling our experiences into
the written word and provides compassionate support to the reader
for his or her own write-to-heal process.
The Handbook of Second and Foreign Language Writing is an
authoritative reference compendium of the theory and research on
second and foreign language writing that can be of value to
researchers, professionals, and graduate students. It is intended
both as a retrospective critical reflection that can situate
research on L2 writing in its historical context and provide a
state of the art view of past achievements, and as a prospective
critical analysis of what lies ahead in terms of theory, research,
and applications. Accordingly, the Handbook aims to provide (i)
foundational information on the emergence and subsequent evolution
of the field, (ii) state-of-the-art surveys of available
theoretical and research (basic and applied) insights, (iii)
overviews of research methods in L2 writing research, (iv) critical
reflections on future developments, and (iv) explorations of
existing and emerging disciplinary interfaces with other fields of
inquiry.
Writing centers are complex. They are places of scholarly work,
spaces of interdisciplinary interaction, and programs of service,
among other things. With this complexity in mind, this book
theorizes writing center studies as a function of its own
rhetorical and discursive practices. In other words, the things we
do and make define who we are and what we value. Through a
comprehensive methodological framework grounded in critical
discourse analysis, this book takes a closer look at prominent
writing center discourses by temporarily shifting attention away
from the stakeholders, work, locations, and scholarship of the
discipline, and onto things-the artifacts and networks that make up
the discipline. Through this approach, we can see the ways the
discipline reinforces, challenges, reproduces, and subverts
structures of institutional power. As a result, writing center
studies can be seen a vast ecosystem of interconnectivity and
intertextuality.

workshops given at the summer institute, this collection offers
both theoretical insights and practical suggestions for classroom

periods and even provide homework assignments. From high school
teachers and first-time teaching assistants to experienced writing
professors looking to enhance their courses, anyone who teaches
English will appreciate the fresh ideas found in this indispensable
volume.
