Wherever you are in your creative life---just tiptoeing in or fully
immersed, The Fire Inside can be a source of encouragement and
inspiration.
Rodin said that The main thing is to be moved, to love, to tremble, to
live. In other words, to be fully engaged in life and the creativity
that exists within.
The Fire Inside, through a well-researched collection of essays and
heart-opening personal stories, invites readers to uncover their unique
talents and live out their individual dreams.
Within each one of us are vast untapped reservoirs of creativity, and
when we connect with that potential, our lives will open in wonderful
and joy-filled ways.
Few books on creativity are so inclusive, so welcoming as this book,
offering insight not only for furthering one's abilities in the
traditional arts, but also in the day to day creativity which so
enriches our lives. Based on the authors' combined fifty-five years of
teaching and presenting workshops on writing and creativity, The Fire
Inside is written in a spirit of warmth and generosity. It invites the
reader to say yes to creativity, choose to live a bigger life, and
discover how the magic happens.
These writers have great authority and expertise on this topic. They
write ideas that are fresh and new with profound potential for
empowering readers as well as writers, connecting them with their
honest, authentic peers. - Mary Pipher, author of The Green Boat:
Reviving Ourselves in Our Capsized Culture and Writing to Change the
World
