W. Allen Morris Great question! That’s why I wrote the book! I want others to be able to take a shortcut and not have to take a three year sabbatical…to understand the direct path to self-awareness, healing, and a deeper connection to your freedom, creativity, and personal power.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

W. Allen Morris My advice for aspiring writers is to start writing about anything that interests you. In the process you'll discover what you are passionate about. Write for yourself and for your own clarity and your own fun, not for anyone else. When you know you're writing for yourself, you avoid the anxiety of anticipating the judgments of others. As a struggling author, I was delightfully encouraged by Elizabeth Gilbert's book Big Magic.

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

W. Allen Morris Somewhere in my fantasy life, I am convinced that I am the Captain of the Starship Enterprise, NCC-1701. I also loved the premise of Stargate. I wish I could have written the story of Stargate which discovers a portal to pass through time and space into other worlds. That's the kind of fictional book I would like to write someday. It's actually what any good science fiction writer does--is to take you through time and space to a different world you've never imagined before.
