The Swirl and Swing of Words: Embracing the Writing Life
Some of us are compelled to share our creative visions through the written word. If we want to stay true to our dreams of being writers, then we should embrace the writing life.
Embracing the writing life means giving into the joys and the challenges of our chosen art form. Embracing the writing life means living fully, being present in the moment, and finding meaning in the smallest things. This is how we fill our creative well, after all--with life.
Whether you are new to writing or have many years under your belt, embracing the writing life may be the best thing you can do for yourself as a creative person, and a human being.
This book isn't about selling as many books as you can, writing 15000 words a day, or marketing anything. This book is about sharing a deep, abiding love for writing, a love that has sustained writers through many storms. This book is about how writers can embrace the writing life despite trials and errors, ups and downs, experiments and, finally, acceptance of our creative lives how they are and not how we wish them to be. All writers should embrace an authentic, creative life in this precious time we have. Perhaps you would like to do the same.
