This practical guide to successful creative writing not only helps you put words on paper, it explains how to achieve optimal productivity and enjoyment throughout the process. Joseph Sestito’s unique approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy and Buddhist spiritual strategies that can liberate people from procrastination, anxiety, depression, guilt, and other self-defeating emotions. Step by step, he shows would-be authors how to develop a concept for a manuscript, create a successful book proposal, overcome writer’s block, bring the project to fruition, and present it to authors and agents. Lively practical exercises and meditations are interspersed throughout.
