Up Your Game: Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Strategies for Writers
 
Like white water rafting, writing and the business of being an author can be
delightful, daunting, exciting, exasperating, thrilling, and terrifying. Up Your
Game: Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Strategies for Writers provides tools to
help you:
 
·      Recognize and effectively work with emotions (yours, your characters, &
the publishing professionals you work with).
 
·      Intentionally shift emotional states. 
 
·      Create flow, lessen resistance, and support your writing goals.
 
·      Use thinking and feeling to make decisions that enhance your writing
practice.
