How to Make a Messy Literary Life: A Guide for Writers

The literary life is often romanticized as a solitary pursuit, carried out in quiet libraries or cozy writing nooks. But the reality is, most writers' lives are anything but tidy. In fact, some of the most successful writers have messy lives, filled with chaos, distraction, and uncertainty.

In How to Make a Messy Literary Life, author and writing coach Alexandra Franzen argues that messiness is not something to be avoided, but rather embraced. She draws on her own experiences as a writer, as well as the experiences of other successful writers, to show how messiness can actually be a source of creativity and productivity.
