Formula Free by Pishi Pishi Miao Miao Pooch...and her editor, grudgingly... could have been titled A Rule-Breaker’s Guide to Writing. Who says writers have to follow the rules? Certainly not Pishi Pooch — a feline with flair, nine lives of storytelling wisdom, and a talent for knocking over expectations... and coffee cups.
This delightfully defiant guide to writing is part mischief, part manifesto. With lessons from both Pishi and her editor, writers are invited to challenge conventions, pounce on possibilities, and sharpen their claws on tired advice. From structure to subtext, grammar to genre, this map of mischief explores the craft of writing with curiosity, courage, and a dash of cattitude.
Inside, you’ll find:
playful and practical lessons on storytelling
two voices: Pishi's and the editor's
paw-sitive encouragement to write wildly and revise wisely
unexpected turns, tail swipes, and plenty of puns
Whether you're a first-time scribbler or seasoned wordsmith, this book invites you to break the rules — with purpose, with style, and with your voice intact... because sometimes the best stories come from scratching the page your own way.
