About the Author
Reviews
Other writing gurus want to school you in the strategies to get you through the chore of writing. Frankie Rollins is alert to these tricks and generous with them; her wisdom on the eternal question of how to find time to write is essential. But her true gift is to EXCITE you about writing, by centering you in your body's very urge to do it. More than a manual for how to write, it's a manifesto for how to live. How I wish someone had written this passionate, open-hearted, one-of-a-kind book for me years ago.
-Amy Argetsinger of THERE SHE WAS
In DO YOU FEEL LIKE WRITING, Frankie Rollins asks us to explore where our writing comes from. What in our lives feeds us as creatives? How can we nurture our best impulses? How can we reshape those patterns that don't serve us? How can we become more sensitive to what the work needs? If this sounds like a mystical and magical approach, it is. But Rollins is also pragmatic and honest about the challenges of a writing life and how to meet them. Her insights come from years as a writer and a teacher of writing and so do her practical suggestions and writing exercises. Open to any page and you'll find something that speaks to you. I promise.
