1000 Words: A Guide to Staying Creative, Focused, and Productive All-Year Round

Inspired by Jami Attenberg's wildly popular literary movement #1000WordsofSummer, this writer's guide features encouraging essays on creativity, productivity, and writing from acclaimed authors including Roxane Gay, Lauren Groff, Celeste Ng, Meg Wolitzer, and Carmen Maria Machado. In 2018, novelist Jami Attenberg, faced with a looming deadline, needed writing inspiration. Using a bootcamp model, she and a friend set out to write one thousand words daily for two weeks straight. They opened this practice to Attenberg's online community and soon hundreds then thousands of people started using the #1000WordsofSummer hashtag to track their work and support one another. What began as a simple challenge between two friends has become a literary movement—write 1,000 words per day without judgment, or bias, or concerns about writer's block, and see what comes of it. 1000 Words is the book-length extension of this movement. It is about becoming—and staying—motivated, discovering yourself and your creative desires, and approaching your craft from a new direction. It features advice from more than fifty well-known writers, including New York Times bestsellers, Pulitzer Prize winners, and stars of the literary world. Framing these letters are words of wisdom and encouragement, plus specific strategies, from Attenberg on how to carve out a creative path for yourself all year round. Paired with vibrant word art illustrations, 1000 Words is an accessible and motivational craft book that allows you to open any page and get a quick and fulfilling hit of inspiration.

[German] - Drei Romane: Rache, Wahn, Liebe

Die 'Drei Romane' von Pola Polanski stellen jeweils künstlerisch begabte Frauen in den Mittelpunkt, die ihre Kreativität als Schriftstellerinnen und Malerinnen – oft um die passenden Worte, Farben oder künstlerischen Mittel ringend - ausdrücken. Ihnen ist ihre seelische Fragilität gemein, sie haben Phasen psychischer Erkrankung und Therapien durchlebt, müssen teils Medikamente nehmen, um ihre Stimmungsschwankungen auszugleichen. Dennoch wehrt Mia in 'Das Wolfsbaby' sich gegen den Stempel einer Diagnose. Das Auf und Ab ihres Seelenlebens versteht sie als wesentlichen Teil ihres Selbst und auch als Quelle ihrer Inspiration. Während Toni in 'Mein Alter Ego' und Angelika in 'Die schwarzen Engel' Fehlgeburten und eine Abtreibung verarbeiten müssen, woran ihre Beziehungen zu einem Mann scheiterten, gebiert Mia in 'Das Wolfsbaby' ein Kind mit dem Werwolf- Syndrom, was ihren Partner in den Alkoholismus treibt und ihre Liebe auf eine Zerreißprobe stellt. Annika begegnet auf einer Nil-Kreuzfahrt ihrem Alter Ego Toni, die sich auf einem Feldzug der Rache befindet, und fühlt sich genauso von ihr angezogen und umgekehrt wie Angelika in 'Die schwarzen Engel' von Simone, bei der sie als Untermieterin einzieht, bevor sie in einen Wahn stürzt. Diese Ambivalenz in der gefühlsmäßigen und sexuellen Orientierung zwischen einem weiblichen und einem männlichen Pol gilt für beide Frauen-Paare. Alle drei Romane sind durchzogen von intensiven plastischen Träumen, Mia besucht in ihren geistigen Visionen außerdem einen fantastischen Planeten. Reisetagebücher in 'Mein Alter Ego' und 'Das Wolfsbaby', die in die Kultur des Alten Ägypten und die griechische Mythologie führen, Musik und Literatur, auf die Bezug genommen wird, verdichten die unverschnörkelt formulierten Texte mit den knappen Dialogen zu einem vielfältigen Ganzen.

Die Wokeness-Illusion: Wenn Political Correctness die Freiheit gefährdet

Wokeness ist ein Kampfbegriff geworden. Das gilt sowohl für die Befürworter wie die Gegner einer Einstellung, die sich selbst als »wach« oder »aufmerksam« bezeichnet. Es gibt wenig sachlich begründete Auseinandersetzungen, dafür umso mehr Empörung. In diesem Buch werden zentrale Elemente von Wokeness kritisch geprüft: der Vorwurf der kulturellen Aneignung, die Forderung nach geschlechtergerechter Sprache, die Rede von strukturellem Rassismus, das Instrument der Cancel Culture und die Einführung einer geschlechtlichen Diversität. Die Autoren dieses Buches sind sich einig, dass die so kritisierte Wokeness nicht zur Abschaffung oder Einebnung von Unterschieden beiträgt, sondern im Gegenteil diese untermauert. Inhalt • ALEXANDER MARGUIER: Vorwort Wokeismus • RALF HANSELLE: Ich so, du so. Die Anfänge der Identitätspolitik und die Erfindung des Selbst • MATHIAS BRODKORB: Rassisten wider Willen. Kritische Anmerkungen zur Theorie des 'strukturellen Rassismus' • BEN KRISCHKE: Nicht die Biologie, sondern das Gefühl Auf dem Weg in ein postfaktisches Geschlechtersystem • BERND STEGEMANN: Empörung und Neoliberalismus. Über woke Wirtschaft • PHILIPP FESS: Woke Washing. Blendwerk für den politisch korrekten Konsum • INGO WAY: Gerechte Sprache, schwere Sprache Wie woke Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen Sprache und Literatur verfälschen • STEFAN LAURIN: Identität ohne Klasse. Wokeness privilegiert die Falschen • RALF HANSELLE: Die Menschheitsfamilie wird getrennt. Zur Debatte um 'kulturelle Aneignung'

Dog Training and Behaviour Solutions: The stress-free way to live in harmony with your dog

A collection of articles, based on modern science, using force free and fear free methods Solutions to common issues from pre-puppy to adulthood The book is a compilation of articles written by these professionals on various aspects of puppy and dog ownership, care, training, and managing and treating behavior problems. As such, you do not need to read the book cover to cover, but the articles are compiled in such a way that it will take you through in a sensible order if that's what you wish to do. Alternatively, you can skip to whichever issue you wish to look up and read articles about it. If previous knowledge of a preceding article is required, it is usually mentioned in the article you're reading. A Collaboration of Force-Free Professionals It is good to see some articles referring back to others written by a different author, proving that this is indeed a collaboration between like-minded professionals and the advice isn't coming from a singular source. All of the writers do well at maintaining an overall ‘tone' but of course, they write as individuals so you do get different voices. You may find you prefer some to others. Despite a generally professional voice, the tone is friendly, and at (appropriate) times, humorous. From a grammar perspective, it is well written, so easy to read. Something for Everyone Some of the articles are brief and provide a quick and easy read; others are more lengthy, but the formatting and editing breaks them up well with subheadings making the text much easier to take in. The advice is well presented without complex jargon and easy for anyone to take in, from people brand new to dog training to seasoned professionals looking for another way of presenting their information or an alternative method. Easy to understand anecdotes and comparisons help people to understand their dogs' perceptions of situations.
