Within each one of us, there is a deep need for creative expression--whether it be in the visual arts, writing, or the sort of "everyday" creativity which can so enrich our lives.
Our creativity quotients are greater than we can imagine; we just need to tap into that potential. Based on the authors' combined fifty-five years of teaching and presenting workshops on writing and creativity,
The Fire Inside is packed with creative tips and exercises, anecdotes, insights, inspiration, and hearty acknowledgements to the reader, that you, too, can heighten your creativity. Living the life of an artist is joy-filled but challenging. Wherever you are in that life, it helps to have strategies to keep going, and it helps to have a companion along the journey.
The Fire Inside, written in a spirit of warmth and generosity, can be that companion. It may be read straight through, or to enjoy a daily dose of inspiration, read one well-researched, heart-opening story at a time. Whichever way one chooses,
The Fire Inside invites readers to say yes to creativity, choose to live a bigger life, and discover how the "magic" happens.
