"Writing with your Muse offers techniques, strategies, tools, tips, and stories to help you tap into creative inspiration. You don't have to be psychic to be successful with these techniques, although that natural ability exists in all of us, and these techniques will help you develop your sixth sense. There's even science to back it up. This book will help you if you hear words or see images but find it difficult to get the text on the page, you've written and published but are searching for something fresh and different, you have ideas but don't know how or where to begin, you want to write but have no ideas, or you're suffering from a bad case of writer's block.

""Hawkin serves hearty doses of inspiration and imagination while frequently drawing on giants of literature and philosophy . . . Vital advice for the tale spinner in each of us."" -Publishers Weekly

""Remarkable, authentic, and enlightening . . . The drive this book instills in the reader to put these practices into play in their own lives will keep readers coming back to this book repeatedly, very much in tune with other great books like Stephen King's ""On Writing."" -Anthony Avina

""Hawkin is refreshingly honest about her own experiences, establishing her expertise with gentle humor and humility. If writing is a journey, then Hawkin is the perfect guide to its unexplored and untamed reaches: inspiring, forthright, and inventive."" -Marie Powell, Last of the Gifted series

""An invaluable resource that empowers writers, allowing them to approach their craft with confidence . . . An essential addition to any writer's toolbox."" -Joshua Roy

""A craft tool and spiritual journey guided by a skillful, compassionate mentor . . . Stands out from other craft books."" -Sionnach Wintergreen, Men of the Shadows series
