The Write Attitude, Second Edition

Writers work alone, and most of them make stories up for a living. Those two facts make writing very difficult. Writers often quit because they believe something untrue. Without a support system, those beliefs take over. The Write Attitude provides that support system. With chapters on everything from believing in oneself to learning how to clear the critical voices from the office, this book shows writers how to get through even the darkest night of the soul. Kristine Kathryn Rusch knows a thing or two about writing. A professional writer since the age of sixteen, she survived the ups and downs of publishing for five decades. All of the advice in this book comes from those experiences. "[Kristine Kathryn Rusch's weekly publishing blog]…is full of sound advice and analysis about what's going on." —Jeff Baker, The Oregonian "I would highly recommend reading this book and learning from the wisdom of a writing veteran like Kristine Kathryn Rusch. She has written professionally for nearly four decades across science-fiction, fantasy, mystery, and the romance genres. Her writing advice and experience in publishing provides a brutally honest perspective about the business and how creatives can survive and thrive to have a long-term writing career." — Kammbia Book Review on the first edition of The Write Attitude
