Ancient Eastern wisdom for a flourishing writing life. In a radical departure from standard advice about creative success, effort, critique and competition, The Way of the Fearless Writer will show you that there is another way to thrive - a writing path of ease, trust, wonder and joy. You are invited to embark on a sacred writing journey, inspired by ancient wisdom from Japan and China. Along the way you will learn how to free your mind so your body can create, transform your relationship to fear, write anytime, anywhere, and share your words with confidence. Being a fearless writer has little to do with validation and accolades as we are conditioned to believe. Rather it is about ritual, dedication and commitment, developing an acute awareness of beauty, dancing with inspiration, listening to the world outside yourself and going deep within. This is not just a book about how to write better. It's a book about how to live better, with your heart as your compass and writing as your guide.
Offering a rare honest insight into the writing life and a host of fresh and original writing exercises, The Way of the Fearless Writer will reveal your true potential, and open your eyes to writing as a direct connection to life itself.
