Adair Lara

You Know You're a Writer When (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A collection of reflections on the nature of what it means to be a writer.

How do you find out what being a writer means to those who really are writers? You ask them. In this book, Adair Lara shares what the ink-stained, carpal-tunneled, slightly dazed, word struck people she knows had to say.

You know you're a writer when...

... You'll never forgive your parents for your happy childhood.

... The doctor tells you that you have terminal cancer, and you think, "I can use this."

... You accidentally sign a check with your pen name.

... You know more than ten synonyms for "blue."

... You write your Christmas letter as if it were War and Peace.

Many readers will recognize themselves in this collection of observations about the eccentric, quirky, word-obsessed condition that is being a writer.<
