Every author calls on, crystallises and shades his or her life experiences to craft fiction, whether they're writing world-bending sci-fi or a thinly veiled autobiography. It is precisely those most conflict-ridden moments of our lives - the tragedies, humiliations and terrors that shape the best stories. This fact-to-fiction process not only provides the essential building blocks of best-selling novels, but is, also, personally transformative. This book offers a practical tool for the person looking to harvest their life experiences to heal, lead a more authentic life and craft a rich, powerful work of fiction.
Based on the process the author developed and field-tested in the wake of her husband's suicide, REWRITE YOUR LIFE is devoted to the practice of discovering, healing and evolving through writing fiction. It combines research, practical and engaging guidance and personal experience to meet readers where they're at and take their creativity and personal growth to the next level.
Tender, raw and laugh-out-loud funny, REWRITE YOUR LIFE offers a map and a compass for those seeking to transform themselves through the simple, profound act of writing a novel.
