The Messy Writer: Creating Stories When Your Brain Has 47 Tabs Open

  Waste Can with Krumbled Up Papers


The Messy Writer:

Creating Stories When Your Brain Has 47 Tabs Open


What if you aren't a bad writer? What if you're just a messy one?

Writing advice often assumes you're a writer with consistent energy, uninterrupted time, endless motivation, and a brain that stays focused on one project at a time. But what happens when that's not true?

In The Messy Writer, K. E. Koontz explores the realities of creating with: 

  • ADHD,
  • chronic illness, 
  • disability, 
  • brain fog, 
  • hyperfixation,
  • and a tendency to collect unfinished stories.

Through personal stories and practical strategies, she challenges the idea that there is only one right approach to creativity. 

Learn how to work with your energy instead of against it, navigate brain fog, return to abandoned drafts, adapt your writing process to your body, and build a creative system that can bend when life gets messy so you don't have to break. 

If you have ever felt like traditional writing advice wasn't built for their brain, The Messy Writer offers a different way forward. Perfect for readers of How to Keep House While Drowning, The Anti-Planner, and Big Magic.
