The Story Cure
The Story Cure: A Book Doctor's Pain-Free Guide to Finishing Your Novel or Memoir | Dinty W. Moore
2 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
A collection of cures for writer's block, plotting and characterization issues, and other ailments writers face when completing a novel or memoir, prescribed by the director of creative writing at Ohio University. People want to write the book they know is inside of them, but they run into stumbling blocks that trouble everyone from beginners to seasoned writers. Drawing on his years of teaching at both the university level and at writing workshops across the country, Professor Dinty W. Moore dons his book-doctor hat to present an authoritative guide to curing the issues that truly plague writers at all levels. His hard-hitting handbook provides inspiring solutions for diagnoses such as character anemia, flat plot, and silent voice, and is peppered with flashes of Moore's signature wit and unique take on the writing life.

Checked this out from the library yesterday and finished it today. It helped me realize it was time to drop out of NaNoWriMo and focus on writing in a way that works for me. Looking forward to that!

tpixie That‘s amazing to find out!! I remember when I was in school I was great at studying and then I switched schools and somehow lost confidence in myself so then started trying to do everybody else‘s study habits and then finally realized I need to stick with my own study habits. Good luck 🍀 3y

What a topical book to happen upon! Happy #NaNoWriMo everyone!! I'm being a little rebellious this year and working on my novel from last year. It was kind of a mess but I loved the idea (ufos + feminism), so hopefully this book can help me get my act together!

This is my 6th national novel writing month. Are you writing this month?? My username is ulianne if you want a writing buddy 💕💕

TK-421 This will be my third Nano. I thought about being a rebel & continuing with the revision project I started during Camp Nanowrimo, but decided I'd rather tackle a new writing project. Good luck and Happy #Nanowrimo! 8y
