### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A great companion for your writerly self
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2014*

I have found this book to be a treasure and a turning point in my writing career. It's a book to inspire you but also to help you plan your work at every stage and to look after yourself during work on difficult projects. It does not shy away from dealing with the emotional cost some writing exacts from us: it gives you ways, trustworthy ways, to look after yourself during, and after, writing -- ways to protect, look after and care for ourselves while we write or deal with our own "charged emotional material".The book is well structured in its content. For example Part 2 takes the writer deep into the writing process, identifying six or seven stages in the writing process that help the writer read the signals of intuition and inspiration at the start of the project, and also to read in the work itself as it nears completion. This staging process she outlines helps the writer to know how to push on into the next stages of the writing process -- on into the stages of deepening, of shaping and re-visioning and of actually completing the project -- stages which are too often skipped (e.g. when a work is rushed to completion, or abandoned before it finds its final form). This section I found particularly helpful.The author draws on her own research, but she also cites a wide range of authors, famous and lesser known, and mixes their short snippets of wisdom with her own.This is definitely not a self-help book: it's a resource for life. Sarah Ban Breathnach, the author of Simple Abundance, says of this book that it is "an exquisite gift of grace ...that will help you write yourself out of the wilderness of pain ... into wholeness" and I truly believe this to be so.

    Excellent for both learning to write and journal
  

*by C***B on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019*

Writers can use this book to learn how to write better in the sense of getting in touch with themselves and digging in deep.Those who journal would find this most excellent.Do you already journal daily but would like to see if you can take it to the next level? This book is for you! This basically helps you perform therapy on yourself.Do you want to journal but nothing comes out? You honestly think you have nothing to say? This is actually the perfect book for you. This is a program with steps that will guide you through the process.I honestly would recommend this to anyone wanting to write, whether an existing or starting writer, or existing or starting journaler. This book deserves so much. She has studied other authors, she has written other books herself, she is just flat out amazing. I promise that you will not be disappointed.

    my saviour in a storm
  

*by S***! on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2013*

I clung to this book during an excruciating phase in life - you know that time when we weep, and wail and become absolutely impervious to reasoning in our anguish. Oh how grateful I am to Ms Desalvo for this gem of wholesome comfort and deft guidance. It did actually get me to write. When it comes to writing, I do procrastinate, I lose what I write often and I don't feel comfortable sharing what I write either. All that changed and I began writing and reading out to my beloved friend and godmother :) Our conversations morphed from me exhausting her in her attempt to comfort me to beautiful, enlightening and memorable exchanges. I gifted her a copy on mother's day and another to a neighbor in Chicago (when we lived there) who also happens to be a published writer. She also loves and cherishes this book. It traveled with me to so many cities over the course of several months as I battled this tough phase. This gem will stay very close to my heart, that is how profoundly I have been impacted by it.
