Book excerpt: Writing Without a Parachute: The Art of Freefall shows both beginning and experienced writers how to get the thinking mind to step aside, so that writing becomes truly creative - a vulnerable and open-hearted engagement with the moment. Here for the first time, writing teacher Barbara Turner-Vesselago shares in print the method by which, for almost 30 years, she has helped hundreds of writers to publish fiction, memoir, non-fiction and poetry worldwide. By means of five simple precepts, she leads the writer step by step into real trust in writing through the art of Freefall: invoking the courage to fall without a parachute into the words as they come. This book can be used for inspiration, as a reference, or as a sustained, twelve-month course in writing. It will help all writers to connect with their deepest intention in writing, and to write with greater authority and grace.

Book excerpt: Are you unhappy with your career, feel stuck and don't know how to move forward? Or do you often tell yourself that you will just stick out your current (unhappy) job or career path until retirement because you've invested time and/or your job just pays too well to leave?The secret to understanding why we sacrifice our personal happiness within an unhappy career lives in our past. And it is never too late to figure it out. Cory Calvin had an epiphany looking out of the office window as a successful corporate strategy executive for a Fortune 50 company daydreaming about a different life. He realized the past ten years of unhappiness was a result of certain beliefs he had held since an early age, yet quickly figured out these beliefs hindered his path forward. In Jump Without A Parachute, Cory shares the lessons he learned after leaving his 16-year corporate career behind and took a leap into the unknown. He decided to jump without knowing all of the answers like "How will I make money? How will I save for retirement? How will I have health benefits? What do I want to do?" Those unanswered questions are the parachute strings that will help us land safely and oftentimes hold us back to taking the leap.He decided to jump without a parachute. And now Cory is living a life of ultimate happiness, earning a living doing exactly what he loves doing every day. Are you ready to live your best life and take the leap?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A WONDROUS NEW BOOK OF MCPHEE'S PROSE PIECES—IN MANY ASPECTS HIS MOST PERSONAL IN FOUR DECADES The brief, brilliant essay "Silk Parachute," which first appeared in The New Yorker a decade ago, has become John McPhee's most anthologized piece of writing. In the nine other pieces here— highly varied in length and theme—McPhee ranges with his characteristic humor and intensity through lacrosse, long-exposure view-camera photography, the weird foods he has sometimes been served in the course of his reportorial travels, a U.S. Open golf championship, and a season in Europe "on the chalk" from the downs and sea cliffs of England to the Maas valley in the Netherlands and the champagne country of northern France. Some of the pieces are wholly personal. In luminous recollections of his early years, for example, he goes on outings with his mother, deliberately overturns canoes in a learning process at a summer camp, and germinates a future book while riding on a jump seat to away games as a basketball player. But each piece—on whatever theme—contains somewhere a personal aspect in which McPhee suggests why he was attracted to write about the subject, and each opens like a silk parachute, lofted skyward and suddenly blossoming with color and form.

Oskar is a Luftwaffe conscript whose sweetheart, Elsa, was forced to flee Berlin for Ireland two years before. War-weary, he longs for escape. In remote Dunkerin, Kitty awakes to find a parachute trapped in one of the lime trees. When she discovers Oskar, injured and foraging for food in her kitchen, he becomes a rare and exciting secret. But Ireland during the "Emergency" is an uneasy place, and word of the parachute soon spreads. Meanwhile, Elsa is haunted by the plight of the parents she left behind. With the threat of the Nazi invasion, she feels far from secure. A chance encounter with Elsa, and Charlie, a young medical student, finds himself falling in love. Oskar, Kitty, Elsa, and Charlie's lives intertwine in a climate of war, exile, and ever-uncertain neutrality.
