Myers L: The Heart and Craft of Writing
a Healing Memoir

The Heart and Craft of Writing a Healing Memoir

From bestselling and award-winning author and professor Elizabeth McCracken comes an irresistible look at the art of writing.Writing can feel like an endless series of decisions. How does one face the blank page? Move a character around a room? Deal with time? Undertake revision? The good and bad news is that in fiction writing, there are no definitive answers to such questions: writers must come up with their own. Elizabeth McCracken, author of bestselling novels, National Book Award long-listed story collections, and a highly praised memoir, has been teaching for more than thirty-five years, guiding her many students through their own answers.In A Long Game, she shares insights gleaned along the way, offering practical tips and incisive thoughts about her own work as an artist. The book covers: <ul><li>Understanding and developing characters</li><li>Plot, and what to do if it eludes you</li><li>Her thoughts on common writing “rules”</li><li>And of course, the Butter Cow Lady of the Iowa State Fair and her work as it relates to revision</li></ul> Writing “is a long game,” she notes. “What matters is that you learn to get work done in the way that is possible for you, through consistency or panic. Through self-recrimination or self-delusion or self-forgiveness: every life needs all three.” As much a book about the life of a working artist as it is a guide to thinking about fiction, A Long Game is a revelatory and indispensable resource for any writer.

The best ideas rarely come from nowhere. They come from somewhere else.We tend to treat creativity as an act of invention: stare at the problem long enough, think hard enough, and eventually something original will appear. Transfer starts from a different premise. Most powerful ideas are not created from scratch. They are transferred.A solution in one industry. A behaviour in another. A structure, mechanism or pattern that already works somewhere else. The creative act is recognising what makes it work, stripping away its original context, and applying that principle somewhere new.Transfer turns that process into a practical method.Built around the Transfer Method(TM), O.A.M.A.(TM) process, Pattern Taxonomy(TM) and Compression Principle(TM), the book shows you how to Observe, Abstract, Map and Apply patterns across domains, transforming existing knowledge into ideas that feel new because they have been moved somewhere they have not existed before.Drawing on real cases from advertising, business, product development and strategy, Corey Gross demonstrates that creativity doesn't depend on waiting for inspiration. It can be approached systematically, deliberately and repeatedly.The question is no longer: "How do I come up with something original?"It becomes: "Where has the underlying problem already been solved?"Transfer is Book Two of the RTC(TM) Method: Reframe. Transfer. Commit. Three connected books designed to move from finding the right problem, to generating the right idea, to getting that idea into the world.

Creative Writing Curiosity: Ten Essays on the Curious and Writerly is a lively collection examining how curiosity informs, shapes, deepens and empowers creative writing. Across ten varied essays the collection explores curiosity as stimulus, as guide, as teacher, companion or provocateur. Sometimes initiating, sometimes encouraging deeper thinking and greater imagining, and often the impetus, curiosity is shown as innate and routinely engaged with uncertainty. It is from our desire to know, the questioning that our curiosity entails, that creative writing emerges. Ultimately, it is shown that curiosity is manifest not only in what we write creatively but in how we go about writing it.

Never Run Out of Ideas Again: A Strengths-Based Guide to Solving Problems Without Burning Out

The Strengths Spark

“Conversational essays on wonder . . . A&nbsp;meditation on what gives life meaning. . . . A loving sermon on the rewards of children’s books.”&nbsp;―Kirkus Reviews Make Believe is bestselling children’s author Mac Barnett’s rallying cry for art and imagination, and a celebration of the power of storytelling in all our lives. It’s an incisive, intimate, and timely invitation to approach children’s literature not only as an art form worthy of deep study and criticism, but as a portal into the lives of the children. And at a time when we are faced with a national literacy crisis,&nbsp;he&nbsp;champions the profound joys of literature and the importance of reading for pleasure. What if children are a great audience for art? What if they are in fact better equipped to engage deeply with stories than adults? What if humans’ ability to appreciate art is, if not innate, awakened early in childhood? Well, then we’d better do our best to make some good kids’ books. Written with humor and academic rigor, Make Believe&nbsp;reads like a letter from your smartest and funniest friend. Includes spreads from Goodnight Moon and Busy, Busy Town, illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen, and cover art by celebrated illustrator Carson Ellis. &nbsp;
