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 writing 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 lifeThe Writer's Process is a 2017 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal award winner and a Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Silver Medal winner.

Recensioni
Great concepts in this book. I love the two mental models concept, it really liberates is when we know why we act as we do. Highly recommend this for anyone who writes as part of their job or professionally or even for fun!
Very well done and to the point, without the usual endless list of boring examples. Recommended!
Janzer provides an insider’s view of the inner battle between natural adversaries – the creative versus the disciplined sides of any writer – and offers help on reconciling them to achieve writing success. Her concise prose, precision word choice, and effective use of clever metaphors throughout her book bring clarity to the abstract and a pleasurable reading experience. The Writer’s Process delivers an interesting slant on the craft of writing to aspiring and experienced authors alike.
The Writer's Process more validation than revelationI came to this book, The Writer's Process, Getting Your Brain in Gear, with extreme prejudice. I find it hard to believe creativity can be taught. After reading Anne Janzer's book I still feel that way, but she's made me believe that creativity can be nurtured and maybe even enhanced.Janzer's approach is scientific and it's backed by experts in the field of psychology and cognitive study. But understanding the mental process doesn't tell us how to activate it. What the author sets about to do is "label groups of mental processes that we can activate when needed." The book is divided into three parts. The first part, The Inner Gears describes how the brain works using the term Scribe for areas of focus, discipline and writing craft. Processes like intuition, creativity and empathy are the domain of The Muse.The second part, The Process, Start to Finish, sets forth and elaborates on the seven steps of the writing process beginning with research and ending with publication. The chapter on Revision in itself is worth the price of the book.Part three, Writers in the World, has some practical advice on how to address problems all writers face including finding time to write, dealing with criticism, and working through writer's block.If you're a creative person, specifically a writer, you're likely incorporating many of the suggestions Janzer puts forth in The Writer's Process. If that's the case this book will not be so much revelation as a validation.And what's wrong with that?
