The Creative Heart

How to anchor creativity into your life and writing

Description

When you nurture your creative soul, everything else flourishes.

Ideas are wild things. They slip through our fingers unless we act. This inspiring workbook will help you capture your ideas into a creative practice-whether you want to write a book, craft a poem, reignite an abandoned novel, embrace a new creative path or reinvent yourself.

Blending practical exercises with positive psychology, The Creative Heart anchors creativity in every aspect of your life. Creativity is more than what you do-it's how you live, breathe and feel.

Building on the success of A Writer's Journal Workbook, this new book goes deeper into what it means to know yourself as a creative soul and write with greater freedom, joy and playfulness.

Let the magic begin!

Lucy van Smit – award-winning novelist, artist, and TV producer – draws on her own journey of creativity and spiritual growth to help you champion yourself and your work.
