Writing Creativity and Soul. by Kidd, Sue Monk.;
In 'Writing Creativity and Soul', Sue Monk Kidd pulls from her own life and the lives of other writers to provide a map for anyone who has ever felt lost as a writer. At the heart of this book is the unwavering belief that writing is a spiritual act, one that draws inspiration from the soul. Once you tap into that part of yourself, there are only three more things you need as a writer: something to say, the ability to say it, and, perhaps most difficult of all, the courage to say it.Library Bound Incorporated
