A book give-away, energy, and endnotes

Hello Reader,

How's your writing energy holding up in these crazy, uncertain days of March? Even the weather in March is predictably unpredictable. So, let's lean into writing and telling stories.

The book give-away: How to Tell a Story

The March book may inspire your inner storyteller. It's How to Tell at Story: The Essential Guide to Memorable Storytelling from the Moth.

It's a terrific guide to oral storytelling, and many of its practices apply to writing as well.

To enter the drawing, respond to this email by Sunday, March 22nd and let me know you'd like the book. (Winner outside the U.S. or Canada will receive the ebook.)

Writing to fill your tank

Writing bring you energy and satisfaction. It shouldn't drain you dry. Yet sometimes we let deadlines and ambitions carry us off, leaving the sense of joy waving, forgotten, from a distant shore.

If your writing tank is feeling drained, check out this week's Writing Practices post.

Field notes on the book in progress

The 10th Anniversary Edition of The Writer's Process is with the copyeditor — hurrah! I'm sitting on my hands now to avoid adding anything to the text. It's so hard to resist making just one more change...

For this week's field note: Do you ever read or refer to the endnotes in a nonfiction book? If so, you'll might find this behind-the-scenes look into endnotes interesting. Read it here.

That's all I have now. Don't forget to enter the book drawing, and keep filling your writing tank!
