Writing is more than language and story. It also involves the creation of self. Writing is about who we are and who we are becoming. After taking up writing at the age of thirty, Sue Monk Kidd has created some of the world's most treasured stories. In Writing Creativity and Soul she shares exactly how she did it - from plunging her innermost depths, to voyaging to sacred spaces, to studying the precise methods of the greats and refining her own. Laying her creative journey bare, Sue explores the moments in which she lost her voice and when she found it again, as well as the profound insights she gained along the way. Part memoir, part philosophical investigation, part advice to aspiring writers, this is a guide to awakening the soul. Everything that readers loved about The Secret Life of Bees is to be found in the pages of Writing Creativity and Soul - the warmth, the fierce intelligence, the wit, the spiritual hunger, the search for beauty and meaning and, perhaps above all, the rebel heart.
