"A must-read for any aspiring or seasoned writer." --Huffington
Post We all have the call to create. The question is...why don't we
answer it? We all come pre-loaded with a creative spark that drives
us to innovate, explore, express, and make our unique contribution
to the world. Often, though, that drive doesn't get us very far
down the road before it runs right smack into resistance--the
mysterious force that thwarts creativity. But resistance needn't be
the enemy of writing--or any other creative endeavor. Deb Norton's
Part Wild provides fun and practical ways to turn resistance into a
creative asset. Whether it presents as doubt, perfectionism, or
Deb's favorite: a chorus of withering inner critics, the power of
resistance can be leveraged to launch the creative process with
real momentum. Once we harness resistance, we can let our creative
impulses off the leash. Norton has turned a decade of sold-out
writing retreats and private coaching into a process for powering
up your creative ideas. In Part Wild, she shares dozens of
illuminating and effective practices and quick-start prompts that
are guaranteed to get us out of our heads and onto the page. Just
as The Artist's Way gave millions of readers permission to explore
their creative side, Part Wild shows writers of all levels of
experience and skill how to harness the electrifying power of
resistance and get writing.
