If you're a writer with strong career dreams, The Writer's Runway is for you. From the author's experience as a writer with aspirations, the best approach to long term writing is to have a holistic view that supports the head, heart, and soul. There are two well-known maxims: the key to life is balance and happiness is the meaning and purpose of life. It follows that a writer's whole self needs to be nurtured and protected to help facilitate a happy, balanced writing life filled with purpose, achievement, and financial reward.
The Writer's Runway aims to provide a source of balance that promotes fulfilment and longevity as a writer. This book consists of one hundred writing strategies and is a collation of reliable information, insights, and affirmations. The author wants to share these strategies with you because they have helped her along the writing journey and continue to do so.
Info. Insights. Affirmations. The book's three communication modes aim to strengthen your writing mind, body, and spirit in preparation for your launch into the marketplace. The book leans more towards fiction writers, but a lot of information and suggestions apply to writing in general so every reader stands to benefit.
The Info - The Writer's Runway consists of practical writing tips that the author has gathered from various sources and regards as valuable. The information includes suggestions on how to work towards a quality end product, checklists, how to find golden ideas, ways to approach different writing tasks and challenges, and facts about the industry.
The Insights - The Writer's Runway offers the author's observations on topics such as staying on the writing path, dealing with the double-edged sword called attitude and relating to loved ones as a writer. The saying there's a fine line between pleasure and pain can sometimes apply to writing, however the author believes that your perspective and approach can help you choose and control the way you feel about it. Also, this book may relate to you when the 'non-writers' in your life are unable to and you need to feel understood.
The Affirmations - These help to build and fortify your belief system about writing, your dreams and your capabilities. The affirmations serve to encapsulate the info and insights by putting them in a way that you may repeat and internalise. This can be likened to talking to your higher self and conditioning your subconscious to think the way you'd like it to about writing.
As a writer with career aspirations you've chosen a road that requires physical, mental, and spiritual workouts along the way specific to the writing journey. You're more likely to be a happy traveller, last the distance and reach your destination if you are fit and strong in these three personal aspects. This brave, honest book aims to provide you with support as a trusty travelling companion, guide, and confidante.
N.B.: The author has written this book in Australian (UK) English so you may find some spelling variations such as colour rather than color, traveller instead of traveler, mum rather than mom, fantasise instead of fantasize, and so on.
This book is written in first person with the aim of helping you make the information, insights, and affirmations your own.
