Naked, Drunk, and Writing: Shed Your Inhibitions and Craft a Compelling Memoir or Personal Essay
- Used Book in Good Condition
The material is right there in front of you. Youâ‚¬ve known yourself for, well, a lifetimeâ‚¬"and you finally feel ready to share your story with the world. Yet when it actually comes time to put pen to paper, you find that youâ‚¬re stumped.
Â
Enter Adair Lara: award-winning author, seasoned columnist, beloved writing coach, and the answer to all of your autobiographical quandaries.Â

Naked, Drunk, and Writing is the culmination of Laraâ‚¬s vast experience as a writer, editor, and teacher. It is packed with insights and advice both practical (â‚¬Å“writing workshops you pay for are the best--itâ‚¬s too easy to quit when youâ‚¬ve made no investmentâ‚¬Â) and irreverent (â‚¬Å“apply Part A [butt] to Part B [chair]â‚¬Â), answering such important questions as:
Â
â‚¬ How do I know where to start my piece and where to end it?
â‚¬ How do I make myself write when Iâ‚¬m too scared or lazy or busy?
â‚¬ What makes a good pitch letter, and how do I get mine noticed?
â‚¬ Iâ‚¬m ready to publishâ‚¬"now where do I find an agent?
â‚¬ If I show my manuscript to my mother, will I ever be invited to a family gathering again?

As thorough and instructive as a personal writing coach (and cheaper, too), Naked, Drunk, and Writing is a must-have if you are an aspiring columnist, essayist, or memoiristâ‚¬"or just a writer who needs a bit of help in getting your story told.
