Writing Down Deep; an Alchemy of the Writing Life, has been a huge
labour of love over the last three years. Many of the ideas have
been trialed in blog articles and in online courses, and have been
honed and rewritten for the book. There's also a huge amount of new
material, reflections and writing prompts to help you become the
writer you want to be with your own story and values. Writing Down
Deep; an Alchemy of the Writing Life is a book for writers who want
to dive deeply into their creative flow and into the extraordinary
power of writing to affect individuals and the world. Whether you
are a blogger writing articles, a memoirist, poet or novelist,
writing is magical, it offers perspective shifts, leaps of
imagination and connections that are vital to how we live at every
level. The world is storied and those who tell stories of every
kind, have a unique role and responsibility. The premise is that
story (including poetry, fiction and nonfiction) is vital to human
survival. It is so important that storytellers do well to become
congruent with their tales. This book is for the wild idealists and
alchemists of the imagination who believe that writing is so
powerful that it should change us as we push the boundaries of our
craft. This book is for those who see writing as an act of radical
spirituality, in the broadest sense of 'spiritual' as the antonym
of egotistical hubris, rather than as the opposite of 'material'.
The book is a companion on the quest and, as such, you can read it
straight through or slowly; make the rhythm suit you. It has five
main sections that are interspersed around shorter, seasonal
sections. The book is packed with prompts, inspiration and writing
exercises. These are not mechanical or 'how to' exercises but aimed
at challenging us to dig deeply into our writing processes and
writing lives. Woven throughout are seasonal pauses to help you
design your own writing retreats.
