1000 words : a writer's guide to staying creative, focused, and productive all year round
(Book)

"In 2018, novelist Jami Attenberg, faced with a looming deadline, needed motivation. Using a boot camp model, she and a friend set out to write one thousand words every day for two weeks. They opened this practice to Attenberg's online community, and soon hundreds--then thousands--of people started using #1000WordsofSummer to track their work and support one another. What began as a simple challenge between two friends has become a literary movement--write one thousand words per day without judgment, bias, or concers about writer's block, and see what comes of it. 1000 Words is about becoming--and staying--motivated, discovering yourself and your creative desires, and approaching your craft from a new direction. It features advice from more than fifty beloved writers, including New York Times bestsellers, Pulitzer Prize winners, and stars of the literary world. Framing these letters are words of wisdom and encouragement and specific strategies from Jami for carving out a creative path for yourself all year round. No matter where you are with your practice, 1000 Words compels you to open to any page and find a fulfilling hit of inspiration" --,Provided by publisher.
