The Product Problem

Typically the amount of time and energy creative writing requires far exceeds what people are willing to spend. That’s because writing-to-a-genre-formula requires a focus on product, which requires an editing focus, which cuts you off at the knees from your psychic material. And this is before you’ve gotten started. No wonder you feel discouraged and/or stupid.

Pssst! Its much faster to learn drafting with a narrative voice. Plus it’s fun and you discover who you are and learn to appreciate the writing process benefits. Still, most people choose Door #1 because at least they get to join a club--albeit a genre club with a stiff initiation fee. That’s okay, that’s their prerogative–-romance sells. But...

What if you don’t know what writing market you want to be in?
What if you just want to leave something-on-paper behind for the kids ?
What if you have a story for a movie in mind?
What if you have the most fantastic memoir to tell?

Then it’s time you tried Writing With Nancy.
