Summary:
"Inspired by Jami Attenberg’s wildly popular literary movement #1000WordsofSummer, this “encouraging handbook” (Publishers Weekly) features essays on creativity, productivity, and writing from acclaimed authors including Roxane Gay, Lauren Groff, Celeste Ng, Meg Wolitzer, and Carmen Maria Machado. In 2018, novelist Jami Attenberg, faced with a looming deadline, needed writing inspiration. Using a bootcamp model, she and a friend set out to write one
thousand
words
daily for two weeks straight. They opened this practice to Attenberg’s online community and soon hundreds then thousands of people started using the #1000WordsofSummer hashtag to track their work and support one another. What began as a simple challenge between two friends has become a literary movement -- write 1,000
words
per day without judgement, or bias, or concerns about writer’s block, and see what comes of it. 1000
Words
is the book-length extension of this movement. It 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 well-known writers, including New York Times bestsellers, Pulitzer Prize winners, and stars of the literary world. Framing these letters are
words
of wisdom and encouragement, plus specific strategies, from Attenberg on how to carve out a
creative
path for yourself

. Paired with vibrant word art illustrations, 1000
Words
is an accessible and motivational craft book that allows you to open any page and get a quick and fulfilling hit of inspiration."--Publisher.
