Writer's I Ching

Timeless wisdom for living a writer's life.

The writing life is solitary and challenging, and it takes far more than creativity to become a commercial success. The Writer's I Ching uses the ancient Chinese divination system to provide writers with help mastering the business of writing and choosing the most propitious times to take action. Because writing educators created the book, it also teaches the storyteller and non-fiction craft with lessons suitable for both beginners and seasoned professionals.

This unique presentation of the I Ching features a complete deck of sixty-four cards. The writer poses a question about how to proceed on a specific fiction or non-fiction project, negotiation, or business matter. They select an I Ching card and find its interpretation. Many cases of writer's block have been cured and flashes of insight gained through this simple technique. The I Ching dates back to before Christ and counts among its devotees Confucius, Albert Einstein, and Bob Dylan.
