Reviews"If you are a writer -- and go on, be brave, say, 'I am a writer' -- then this is the book you will turn to every morning, noon, or night when you sit down to write." -- Jacqueline Winspear , author of the Maisie Dobbs mystery series "When you open Barbara Abercrombie's brilliant A Year of Writing Dangerously , you are in a house full of writers, each of whom wants to march you over to a corner to tell you something important about the writing life....Prepare yourself for a wonderful party!" -- Phyllis Theroux , author of The Journal Keeper: A Memoir "Funny and full of comfort (and the company of writing rock stars), this book is as essential to any writer as a verb." -- Caroline Leavitt , New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You "There is something necessary in these pages for everyone, from the beginning writer to the widely published author." -- Naomi Benaron , author of Running the Rift , winner of the Bellwether Prize for Fiction "Candid and inspiring.

SynopsisIn this collection of anecdotes, lessons, quotes, and prompts, author and writing teacher Barbara Abercrombie provides a delightfully varied cornucopia of inspiration -- nuts-and-bolts solutions, hand-holding commiseration, and epiphany-fueling insights from fellow writers, including Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners and Abercrombie's students who have gone from paralyzed to published., This work features a compendium of daily lessons, anecdotes, quotations, and prompts to remind writers why they write. The book addresses the real fears and challenges of working writers., Barbara Abercrombie, a successful author and longtime writing teacher, knows that "there's always a sense of risk when you write - fear that maybe someone will deny your version of things, or they'll get mad and disown you, or maybe you'll make a fool of yourself." Writing, she's found, "will always feel dangerous." But she's also found that writers need to write. How to wrestle with this dilemma? Abercrombie asserts that "determination is an inside job, but inspiration comes from the outside," and it is needed day in and day out. She provides a delightfully varied cornucopia of just such inspiration here - nuts-and-bolts solutions, hand-holding commiseration, and epiphany-fueling insights from fellow writers, including Nobel Prize winners and Abercrombies' own students, who have gone from paralyzed to published.
