Writers are always seeking inspiration and encouragement
that can help them tap into their muse. Dojo Wisdom
for Writers gives aspiring writers the strength and wisdom
of the dojo (a martial arts training room) to
tap into their creativity. Author Jennifer Lawler, who also has
a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, has used
this wisdom to quit smoking, lose weight and get into
top physical shape. She has also learned to apply these
techniques to her writing and in Dojo Wisdom for Writers
she passes along her experiences and knowledge so that writers
can learn to use them to increase both creativity and productivity.
Lawler offers 100 lessons from the martial arts and 100 exercises
to go with them. The lessons and exercises focus on dojo
concepts like "Practice daily, regardless of circumstances,"
"Discipline leads to strength," "Sometimes, remain silent,"
"Accept criticism to grow" and "No one gets the jump
spinning wheel kick on the first try." Lawler teaches writers
how each of the lessons applies to writing and how they
can use the wisdom to become a focused, disciplined and
successful writer. The hard truth is that for many writers the problem is
not a lack of time or writer's block, but a lack of discipline
and focus. Dojo Wisdom for Writers is the perfect book to help you gain the
discipline, strength and commitment you need to achieve your
writing goals.
