Writing magic: creating stories that fly

Liftoff. A running start ; Why I wrote this book ; Shut up! ; Eureka! ; Getting into it ; Noticing

Heart and guts. The nitty-gritty ; The kiss of life ; Character helper ; Suffer! ; Talking ; Back to beginnings ; Where am I? ; Who am I? ; Voice ; Happily ever after-or not

Plowing through. Stuck! ; The operating room ; Writers' groups and other helpers

Digging deeper. Show and tell ; Abracadabra! ; I'd recognize her with my eyes closed ; Speaking body language ; Method writing ; Writing funny, writing punny ; The right moniker ; Fiddling with fairy tales

Writing forever. Writing for your spirit ; Putting your words out there ; Exeunt writing
