The Writer’s Process: Getting Your Brain in Gear

Want to be a better writer? Perfect your process.

Process is a vital, unsung writing skill.

For example, do you fear the blank page? You may be skipping the essential early phases of writing.

Do you generate swarms of ideas but never publish anything? You need strategies to focus and persist to the finish.

When you learn to work with your brain instead of against it, you’ll get more done and have more fun.

Master the inner game of writing

The Writer’s Process combines proven practices of successful authors with cognitive science research about how our minds work.

You’ll learn: 

  • How to invite creativity and flow into the writing process 
  • Why separating the writing process into different steps makes you more productive 
  • How to overcome writer’s block, negative feedback, and distractions 
  • How to make time for writing in a busy, interrupt-driven life
It’s filled with ideas that you can put into practice immediately. 

The Writer’s Process is a 2017 Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal Winner and a Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Silver Award winner.
