A WRITER'S YEAR presents 365 mini-essays--one for each day of the year--intended to inform, motivate, and inspire any creative writer to rethink their own creative process and, perhaps, find a new direction. Topics covered include idea development, turning the mundane into story detail, evolving story events and fictional characters from vivid memories, and even glimpses of word usage and the how-to's of research. With brevity and significance, the essays will stimulate your writing and perhaps prove worthy of a revisit when you are low on creative energy.
