Audiobook road trip, anyone?
|
Hi friend, When I was a kid, every summer I would check out a giant pile of books from the library for the long drive up to northern Wisconsin. I could actually read in the car back then, stretched out on the back deck of the family station wagon, surrounded by luggage. Now, I load up on audiobooks for summer road trips. My favorite place to do that is Chirp — a discount audiobook site. No membership or subscription, just audiobooks, and lots of them. And they run a lot of limited-time, steep discounts. The Writer's Process is one of those discounts. For the next couple weeks, it's only 99 cents on Chirp. If you're not familiar with my work, The Writer's Process is a great place to begin. It's about the psychology of writing, and how we can figure out our own best writing processes. It's the best known of my books—and possibly the best beloved, based on what people tell me. Take a moment to pick up this deal—and set yourself up for a summer of writing! (And, check out the bunches of other great audiobooks on sale. You can definitely fill up your road trip time.) Anne |
