Publisher's Synopsis

Covers various aspects of the craft, practice, and profession of writing, from complete beginners, in a three-year process. It is not meant to be fully-comprehensive, but rather an outline to follow over three years, listing many of the areas one must cover to succeed as a writer. Written by an author of several books. THE BACK STORY: Unending Horizons This is an adapted version of a blog I ran for three years. I got exhausted running this and another blog (All Voices Heard, which was about myriad social issues), and the time they took was taking away from me living an actual life so I ultimately dismantled them and took the best parts of them for use in other projects. (For All Voices I gave the most original ideas about social issues to my character Bridget from The Self-Made Woman and incorporated them into the character's story and a blog she writes, which is now part of my short story collection, A View from the Bottom.) I took the advice for writers and turned it into a book to help aspiring writers to have some kind of a loose road map for their journeys. For the photo art direction I chose a horizon and open sky. The author photo is me after a flying lesson; very fitting I thought. I actually always wanted to be a pilot gallivanting around the world; it was much more my parents, especially my mom, that wanted their/her kids to be artists and social activists. I thought this was a very fitting picture as it's part of the whole theme of the project: pursuing our dreams, whether we get to live our dream as a full time, paid job or not.
