Merc¿ur G: Une lecture bouleversante de
Tout le bleu du ciel de Mélissa Da Costa

Une lecture bouleversante de Tout le bleu du ciel de Mélissa Da Costa

Comprendre la maladie, la fuite et la reconquête de la vie

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.

“Almost Reckless is not just a book, it's a permission slip. It's about the courage it takes to step off the algorithm's path, the clarity that comes from defining your own principles, and the joy of building something that feels unmistakably yours.” —Will Guidara, bestselling author of Unreasonable Hospitality Amy Smilovic's cult fashion brand, Tibi, was a thriving $70 million business when she realized she was working toward someone else's idea of success. So she threw out the rulebook of how things should be done and went with her gut instead. Today Tibi is more successful than ever, and all on Smilovic's groundbreaking entrepreneurial terms.&nbsp; In Almost Reckless, she invites you to get comfortable with embracing smart risks in pursuit of your own vision. Sharing her story and drawing on her years of helping others identify their values and principles, Smilovic teaches you to hone your gut, and your trust in it. With humor and practicality she coaches you in how to determine what success means to you, including: <ul><li>why you don’t have to listen to the data guys</li><li>why you should be a Creative Pragmatist</li><li>why sticking to your principles isn’t incompatible with success</li><li>why work/life balance is bullshit</li></ul> Almost Reckless is the essential blueprint for entrepreneurs, leaders, creatives, and anyone who wants a working life that feels aligned with who they truly are.

A Creative and Pragmatic Approach to Taking Risks

Almost Reckless

A creative masterclass for aspiring and established writers alikeAfter decades of writing award-winning books on subjects ranging from poetry to art to liturgical seasons, celebrated author Marilyn McEntyre turns her attention to the vocation that has shaped her life. Start with a Word: On the Craft and Adventure of Writing is a literary masterclass that eschews drills and formulas in favor of close readings and refreshingly playful advice.A veteran teacher, Marilyn understands that the best writing instruction doesn't come from rigid rules or rote approaches to filling the blank page. Instead, she demonstrates how the writers whose works we have enjoyed can become our tutors. She calls us to move beyond asking "What does this text say?" to a more revealing question: "How does this text work?" This shift in perspective--from passive consumption to active apprenticeship--transforms how we encounter literature and how we create it.More than a how-to manual, Start with a Word is an invitation into a way of being that honors both the precision and the mystery of words. It offers short lessons on essential elements of literary craft, close readings of passages from a range of works, writing prompts, and, above all, encouragement for authors to find their unique path into work only they can create. "Reading and writing keep alive in us the desire to be precise, lively, surprising, generous, inviting, challenging, wise. They make us want to be good, if only in the sense that choosing exact and appropriate words is a matter of choosing the good. . . . I don't think you can be an excellent writer without developing some virtues, if only fidelity to a practice that honors the gift of language."

MICROCOSM PUBLISHING

Do you have a passion that you want to obsess about in a love letter to the world? In this new edition of Microcosm's popular DIY guide to zine-making, Joe Biel updates the information provided in the first edition (edited by Biel and the late and great Bill Brent) to address zine making in today's digital and social-media-obsessed world. Covering all the bases for beginners, Make a Zine! hits on more advanced topics like Creative Commons licenses, legality, and sustainability. Says Feminist Review, "Make a Zine! is an inspiring, easy, and digestible read for anyone, whether you're already immersed in a cut-and-paste world, a graphic designer with a penchant for radical thought, or a newbie trying to find the best way to make yourself and your ideas known." Illustrated by an army of notable and soon-to-be-notable artists and cartoonists, Make a Zine! also takes a look at the burgeoning indie comix scene, with a solid and comprehensive chapter by punk illustrator Fly (Slug and Lettuce, Peops). Part history lesson, part how-to guide, Make a Zine! is a call to arms, an ecstatic, positive rally cry in the face of TV show book clubs and bestsellers by celebrity chefs. As says Biel in the book's intro, "Let's go!"

Make a Zine!

Creativity is your birthright, the rich spiritual inheritance of your soul. Understanding this--and what to do with it today--is the birthplace of personal and communal transformation.When's the last time you encountered such a message? That your creativity is not only built into your very identity, an indispensable part of who you are, but necessary.In an age of AI hype, burnout, and relentless comparison, our creative fire is constantly under attack. We second-guess ourselves. We procrastinate. We shrink back. And the tragedy is, we begin to believe the lie that creativity is for the few--not for us.In Spark, Al Gordon challenges the lies and offers a life-changing framework for reigniting your creative purpose. Starting with the biblical story of God as Creator, Spark will equip you with a powerful set of counter-cultural tools, such as how to: <ul><li>Ignite your imagination and break free from creative blocks.</li><li>Rediscover the sacred purpose of original creativity in a world of endless content.</li><li>Embrace risk and failure as fuel for growth and transformation.</li><li>Become part of the Renaissance movement, empowering the creativity of all believers.</li></ul> Whether you're an artist, leader, entrepreneur, pastor, or dreamer, your creativity is essential, and it flows from your soul. In the years to come, unlocking your creative gift is going to be essential. It's time to step into your God-given creativity. Fuel the fire. And ignite the potential of your creative soul.Al [Gordon] reminds us that creativity isn't for a few; it's the birthright of every believer. Spark will stir your imagination, strengthen your faith, and send you into the world convinced that your creativity really can change things. -- Jennie Allen, bestselling author and speaker
