THE WAY OF THE FEARLESS WRITER by Beth Kempton seeks to use ideas inspired by Japanese and Chinese culture to invite aspiring writers to further develop their craft. Kempton discusses approaching different "gates" (the gate of desirelessness, the gate of formlessness, the gate of emptiness), the lessons they offer, and how to incorporate those takeaways into a writing life.
Sprinkled throughout are fifty exercises that are provided to allow writers to apply them directly, or to have them serve as inspiration into other avenues that can be explored through writing.
While not all may connect with this format or style, it is a solid addition to the various writing resources that are available.
(I received a digital ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.)

Didn't interest me. I didn't feel like it resonated with where I'm at with writing right now.
