Description
Fountain of Creativity; Ways to Nourish your Writing by Bethany Rivers
Finalist in the Best Non-Fiction Cover category of the 2019 International Book Awards
This fun and insightful book looks at some of the deeper questions about the process of writing, ready to dip into whenever you need it. The focus is not on what you achieve in your writing, (poem/novel/story and/or publication), but on how you stay faithful to the journey of writing: how to enjoy the peaks; weather the storms; gain awareness of the relationship between yourself and your writing; how to overcome blocks; and how to positively engage with your inner critic.
Light in tone, like an encouraging friend, Fountain of Creativity offers thirty-two golden rules to see you through the complicated and emotional maze of the writing process. You are expertly guided by a writer with over thirteen years experience of teaching creative writing whose biggest passion in life – other than writing, of course – is to pass on her writing wisdom to others.
