Writing for me is the most enjoyable therapy…it works well with other therapies, of course, and in my case, the mix would be hatha yoga, meditation, and much much else. If you want to hook your reader, the best way is to be authentic – and in order to be authentic, one must speak from the heart, confronting all that we find disturbing and even shameful. Read Lisa’s great post here regarding her own process as well as Natalie Goldberg’s advice to bravely plunge into writing about all that is dark…i wrote a post on my own early process which you can check out too if you like: https://miraprabhu.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/quiche-coffee-the-morning-pages/
I love Natalie Goldbergs books. I use a few of them for writing prompts. 🙂 ❤
She’s the real deal…writes because she really wants to and nothing else.
I know! 🙂
