A writer will change and grow many times in their writing life. This Journal Workbook aims to champion this journey. It answers those tricky questions writers long to ask, shares secret practices to inspire their writing confidence, and free their unique gifts from common obstacles and writing worries. In this Journal Workbook you will discover surprising new techniques from acting, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality to re-wild your creativity and empower your writing craft.

Writing can seem overwhelming. You long to be a writer, but where do you start?

And how do you bridge the gap between where you are right now and where you want to go?

How do you discover your voice? What does that even mean? And what can you do to improve your writing? Or discover what you want to write about?

This is not a book about getting published or finding an agent. This is a book about finding you. Finding your voice. Trusting your talent. Your creativity. It is about putting your heart and soul into your writing practice. Do the prompts and exercises. Reflect.

This Journal Workbook will help you find that spark. This is your writing life, write it your way.
