3 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
Writers block. If you are a writer, you know it can be a haunting, terrifying forcea wolf at the door, a vast conspiracy, something that keeps you up at night, spinning your wheels, going nowhere. But what if weve been thinking about writers block all wrong? What if, by paying attention to its qualities and inquiring into its hidden gifts, we can release that power? On Being Stuck is an empowering guide to working with your blocks and finding the friend within the beast. Using deep inquiry, writing prompts, body and breath exercises, and a range of interdisciplinary approaches, On Being Stuck will help you uncover the gifts hidden within your creative blocks, while also deepening your relationship to your work and reawakening your creative process.

So this isn't my favorite book on the craft of writing but at under 160 pages it packs enough of a punch to have helped me move through a writing slump - and for that I have to give it a little ?. If you want to add a bit of yoga, meditation, self-compassion, and what Herring calls "Deep Inquiry Practices" to your writing toolkit, try this. #booksaboutwriting #writingprocess #thecraftofwriting #writing #inspirations

"But we don't move forward by perpetually starting over. Sometimes, we just have to wait. We have to feel the itch and resist the urge to scratch." (Page xvi). After being in a writing slump, I chose this book to accompany me thru NaNoWriMo 2016. #nanowrimo #onbeingstuck #laraineherring #writing #booksaboutwriting #inspirations
