FINALLY! A book about improving all aspects of my writing and publishing that isn’t “Here are the steps to success,” but rather serves as a permission slip to play, explore, experiment, and discover my own writing awesomeness.
In a nutshell, this uplifting book is a practical guide for writers who want to explore their intuitive connection to their writing and author business.
There were many times while reading this book that I had to put it down to absorb the wisdom. Example: I’ve been dutifully following Author A only to find that their approach isn’t working for me. But I don’t allow myself the grace to stop listening to them because they are so successful and profitable. So I tell myself that *I* am the one who is doing it wrong. Or not fast enough. Or I haven’t outlined. Or… fill in the blank. This book completely turned around that premise to show me that my intuition IS CORRECT AND TRYING TO HELP ME but I’m just not trusting it enough.
This book has also shown me it’s time to get CURIOUS about where my intuition is leading me, and to let go of the self-judgment, blame, and regret around “why I’m not doing it right.”
The authors share their personal stories and experiences as well as tools and exercises to help readers find their own paths as intuitive writers. The lessons included as well as the stories and wisdom of their peers and coaching clients serve as a great resource for writers who want to bring their intuition to the forefront of their craft.
At its core, this insightful book is about being intentional with your writing practice and growing in confidence as an intuitive writer.
I highly recommend "Dear Writer, Are You Intuitive?" to any writer who wants to taps into the power of their intuition and to further their writing and publishing career.
