Stories and Fiction, Facts and Truth

March 26, 2019 by Anne Janzer Leave a Comment

Stories and fiction are not synonymous. Facts can mislead, and frequently do. Fictional stories can hold meaningful truths. Data can distract us. Whether we’re reading stories online or writing for others, we need to keep a few distinctions clear in our heads: stories vs. fiction, truth vs. facts, fibs vs. frauds. Stories and fiction For […]

Leaving Room for the Unexpected

January 1, 2019 by Anne Janzer Leave a Comment

Shut Your Monkey: A Book to Keep You Writing

May 26, 2016 by Anne Janzer Leave a Comment

Have you ever told yourself that you weren’t good enough to try something new or difficult? Do you put off writing that book because you doubt that you do anything worth reading? And even if you managed to complete something major, have you felt like an imposter? Often our biggest barriers are internal, and finding a path around them can be […]
