About the Book

Are you ready to be a writer? Then you need to read this book. Runners train for marathons, singers rehearse for performances and actors immerse themselves in their characters. Writers are no different, except that many of them start their careers and projects with no 'road map'. The purpose of The Five Day Writer's Retreat is to set you on the path of successful authorship. There are a lot of books available on honing your writing craft when you already have material but this one is for that important first step - developing a lifestyle and mindset conducive to writing. Do you want to: - rejuvenate your mind and sustain your passion? - prepare yourself for success? - learn to fight your fears? - write faster and more freely? From Day 1 you will instantly begin to feel refreshed and recharged. One reader couldn't wait to comment: "I've only just started reading the ebook and I just wanted to say, I'm blown away. I've finished reading Day 1 and I'm already feeling so much more motivated than before. You're on to a winner, here, I think!" Thanks Lisa! The Five Day Writer's Retreat will make you laugh, probably won't make you cry, but will definitely make you want to write. So indulge in a Retreat, because your writing is worth it.
About the Author: After spending almost a decade honing my writing skills in academia, I knew that I loved the act of composition. However, it wasn't until I was able to tutor tertiary creative writing as well as academic writing that I realised where my real love was. I finished the first draft of my first novel, a YA Christian supernatural in early 2012. But where to go from there? I had so many ideas that I wanted to try out that I didn't want to settle in just one genre. So in June 2012 I accepted the challenge to try to write 100 first drafts in 5 years, or a draft every 2 weeks. Since then I've had some successful drafts and some not so successful ones. I've had to take a break while I went back to work full time for a few months, and also put new drafts on hold while I polished and published old drafts. But overall, I've had an amazingly fun time. I know that I've broken one of the fundamental rules of building an audience; write in the same genre. However, as my drafts come to fruition, I can guarantee that each one will be a good read, even if it's different every time. So why not explore the world of 100 First Drafts?
