Write Time: Guide to the Creative Process, From Visions to Revisions and Beyond

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher

REVISED & UPDATED In this foundational guide to the writer’s mind and productivity used by thousands of writers worldwide since its original publication...called by the New York Times "the best...book on writing," Dr. Atchity shows how the detailed steps of the creative process interface with the writer’s greatest asset, time, to provide both creative success and peace of mind. For nearly a decade, thousands of writers―aspiring and professional―have relied on this book, the first to apply time-management principles to the specific needs of writers of fiction, nonfiction, and drama.

Expanding his focus now, Kenneth Atchity adds a substantial new chapter, "Breaking into Show Business," and new material about recapturing the "high" of creativity and maintaining confidence despite setbacks. He shows you how to transform anxiety into "productive elation," how to separate vision from revision, and how to develop your own writing agenda. This book, based on his writing seminars, research into dreams and creativity, and film development, is, as the New York Times states, "crammed with the sort of useful advice that it seems to take some people years to learn." Advance Praise ...Atchity covers everything from how a writer’s mind works to how to gather and process a mass of information, from making use of your dreams to dealing with agents and publishers.

The fact that I have owned this book for over 20 years and use it in the kid's / ESL outreach/reading and writing workshops make this a delight to have a chance to review. The descriptions sounds difficult and wordy but the lessons in the book will get you or anyone you know to start writing (or start writing again!) Fabulous book!
