Dorothea Brande

If he were able to discover for himself the reasons for his aridity the chances are that he would never be found enrolled in any class at all. But he only vaguely knows how that successful writers have overcome the difficulties which seem almost insuperable to him; he believes that accepted authors have some magic, or at the very lowest, some trade secret, which, if he is alert and attentive, he may surprise. He suspects, further, that the teacher who offers his services knows that magic, and may drop a word about it which will prove an Open Sesame to him. This book, I believe, will be unique; for I think he is right. I think there is such a magic, and that it is teachable. This book is about the writer's magic.-Excerpt from the Introduction.

Nachdem Dorothea Brande einer Hypnosesitzung beigewohnt hatte, war ihr Interesse geweckt. Kurze Zeit darauf war es ein einziger Satz des Psychologen F.M.H. Myers, dem sie eine v llige Ver nderung ihres Lebens zuschrieb. Myers erkl rte, dass sich die bei der Hypnose zum Vorschein kommenden Talente und F higkeiten deshalb zeigen w rden, weil die Erinnerung an bisherige Fehler "ausgeblendet" w rde. Dorothea Brande berlegte daraufhin, ob eine solche L uterung nicht auch im Wachzustand m glich w re. Falls ganz normale Leute Talente, F higkeiten und M glichkeiten in sich tr gen, die aber aufgrund von Fehlschl gen in der Vergangenheit nicht genutzt w rden, m sse es ihnen doch m glich sein, sich so zu verhalten, als ob ein Scheitern um glich w re. Genau das probierte sie aus. Sie ging von der Pr misse aus, dass diese F higkeiten und Talente vorhanden sind, und dass sie sie nutzen k nne, wenn sie sich so verhalten w rde "als ob dies der Fall sei". Innerhalb eines einzigen Jahres konnte sie als Schriftstellerin ein Vielfaches ihrer bisherigen Leistungen vorweisen Sie entdeckte auch ihr Talent als Vortragsrednerin, und wurde eine u erst gefragte Rednerin, obwohl sie immer gelaubt hatte, dass dies berhaupt nichts f r sie sei.

How to Quickly Learn the Magic of Writing Success For most of my adult life I have been engaged in the writing, the editing, or the criticizing of fiction. I took, and I still take, the writing of fiction seriously. So I make no apology for writing seriously about the problems of fiction writers. I have had firsthand experience with almost every current "approach" to the problems of writing. The difficulties of the average student or amateur writer begin long before he has come to the place where he can benefit by technical instruction in story writing. He had longed to hear that there was some magic about writing, and to be initiated into the brotherhood of authors. This book, I believe, will be unique; for I think he is right. I think there is such a magic, and that it is teachable. This book is all about the writer's magic. (From the Introduction.) Scroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.

TWO YEARS ago I came across a formula for success which has revolutionized my life. It was so simple, and so obvious once I had seen it, that I could hardly believe it was responsible for the magical results which followed my putting it into practice. Of course I was always looking for a way out of my impasse. But when I actually had the good fortune to find it, I hardly believed in my own luck. At first I did not try to analyze or explain it. But the main reason for my taking so little time to analyze or explain the effects of the formula after I once began to use it consistently was that I was much too busy and having far too much fun. It is in comparison with the hesitant lives we live that the full, normal life that is ours by right seems definitely super-normal. But this book is not the history of the growth of an idea. It is intended to be a practical handbook for those who would like to escape and begin to live happily and well. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.
