| Publisher Description: Winner of the 2016 Summer Indie Book Awards ..".the most poignant collection about writing I've ever gotten my hands on." -Amazon Reviewer "I am a writer." Whisper it every night before bed, and maybe someday you'll learn to believe it. Whisper it when others aren't looking. Whisper it when you're sitting in front of the blank page, trying desperately to drown out your doubt and fear. You say it because of the fear there's nothing left to tell. You're feeling the ink running dry. The short stories and poems inside explore the concept of what it means to search for the right words and ourselves. All artists know the pain of feeling out of place and out of ideas. This collection shows we sometimes find more of ourselves when there aren't any words left. When the Ink Runs Dry is a short collection designed to inspire you quickly and send you back to work. Short stories, essays, poems, and visual typography are all interwoven together to stimulate both sides of your brain and get your creative juices flowing again. Because sometimes the best cure for writer's block is simply knowing you're not alone. In the summer of 2014, Theodore Ashford gave a speech at TEDxYouth@Portland on the subject "Finding Yourself." Despite that, he has been writing for over ten years and still questions whether he's a "real" writer or not. |
