Description: Both autobiography and primer, Escaping into the Open interweaves Elizabeth Berg's story of her own journey from working mother to published novelist with encouraging advice on how to create stories that spring from deep within the heart. Filled with Berg's inspirational advice, as well as that of other writers, the book also provides helpful hints about getting started, effective techniques to unleash creativity, and dealing with rejection -- and success -- in the writer's world. Escaping into the Open is full of warmth and encouragement and illuminating truths about the writing life. As Berg sagely reminds inspiring wordsmiths, "there is no single right way to do anything in writing. There is just the desire to communicate something on paper".
