Ariel Gore has spent her life trying to solve this puzzle, writing and organizing her way towards a creative utopian vision, where storytelling is a form of resistance and writing is an outsider art.&nbsp;In <em><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/55928\/9781648411847\">The Wayward Writer<\/a><\/em>, the follow-up to her&nbsp;national bestseller&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HVUhHK\">How to Become a Famous Writer Before You\u2019re Dead<\/a><\/em>,&nbsp;Gore&nbsp;offers a&nbsp;lyrical call to literary revolution&nbsp;paired with practical exercises. Through her own experiences and interviews with other authors, publishers, and agents, she shows you how to chart your own creative education, vanquish&nbsp;shame and imposter syndrome, cast off&nbsp;oppression, cast&nbsp;a spell on your readers, step&nbsp;into your unique powers, and build&nbsp;your own literary community where respect and honesty reign\u2014and where you can be a writer and survive. Gore&nbsp;presents an alternative narrative structure to&nbsp;the patriarchal hero&#8217;s journey, with a focus on tapping into myths and hidden places.&nbsp;She urges us&nbsp;to not be precious about where or when&nbsp;we write, or to apologize for who and what we&nbsp;are, or to stop short of telling the truth about our lives. The result is an impossible to ignore rallying cry for writing dangerously to create a liberated literary utopia\u2014and a helpful guide through the thorny landscape of publishing your work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/catalog\/books\/13355\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Create your liberated literary utopia When your dream and creative passion is to write, how do you succeed without selling &hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/arielgore.com\/?p=737\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9rjA3-bT","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arielgore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arielgore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arielgore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arielgore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arielgore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/arielgore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arielgore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arielgore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arielgore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
