While most long-time writers will intuitively understand many of the concepts that Janzer explores in her book-like the benefits of freewriting or how the best ideas seem to strike in the shower-most books on writing offer very little on the cognitive science that explains those concepts. While there is already glut of writing books on the market, Janzer has managed to contribute something to the genre that is uniquely worthwhile for writers of any level. From there, she lays out a seven-step process for completing any writing project, complete with concrete suggestions for getting the Scribe and the Muse on the same page. Janzer helpfully frames these tasks as being in the domain of the Scribe (the conscious part of the mind that handles the technical details of writing) or the Muse (the unconscious mind which is responsible for most creativity). THE WRITER’S PROCESS provides a well-researched overview of how the mind manages the various tasks it encounters during the creative process.
