Comforts of the Abyss: The Art of Persona Writing

More about the book

The book explores Philip Schultz's journey as a writer, confronting the internal critic he calls the "shitbird," which embodies his insecurities. Through persona writing, he adopts the voices of established authors, allowing him to gain imaginative distance and insight into his creative struggles. This method not only helps him navigate his self-doubt but also enriches his understanding of the writing process and the complexities of artistic expression.
