Live to Write

At last - the book that tells us how to banish loneliness, love this writing life and thrive in it. A unique book for every writer. But that is just the start.

Live to Write: Survive the Solitude - and Thrive is a book that lives up to its name and then goes on to produce a treasure trove of life-changing advice.

More than 200 top writers and thinkers offer unbounded hope and promise here for writers. They offer life-changing ideas to lift us from good to great, to love our alone time at the desk and fill our days and nights in solitude with triumph.

Some of this is memoir - Brian Morgan's hard-won experience from a long journey. Much of it is the accumulated wisdom of the writing masters. They want to take us on a magic carpet ride to beauty, eloquence and excitement as a writer.

There is treasure on every page here, including:

- Ways to love our quiet space and lose that sense of isolation. Ways that feed the soul and allow us to be alone, but never lonely.

- Where to find the topics that stir the blood, make writing memorable and allow us to reach for the truly great within ourselves.

- Discover what would be great for you. What are your dreams? What do you value? What do you believe in? Why do you want to write? Start the journey from good to great by deciding what would be great for you.

- Learn how your life and your writing will feed off each other and give authenticity to everything you write - and to produce work that is valued and loved.

- Touch the depths of life. Live life, absorb its lessons. Absorb the joy, the pain, the anguish, the exhilaration - all of it. You will be better for it and so will your writing.

- Give your readers the full measure of your writer's heart. Make them feel the emotions you feel. Let them shed the tears you have shed.

When all else is done, we all want our words to en­dure. Find what the masters do to write beautiful words that evoke emotions - and endure.

Inside of all of us there is the desire to be heard, to have our innermost thoughts, feelings and experiences expressed for others to read and to understand. We all want to matter to someone, to leave a mark.

This is a book like no other. A book of hope and excitement and value for the writer in you waiting to thrive. The book to take writers to a new and unexpected level.
