In this episode we explore the bliss of deep writing, and how to ease ourselves into this experience, where beauty, truth and insight seems to bubble up naturally from the depths of us. The episode includes: -       The wild truth about writing -       How the Prologue of The Way of the Fearless Writer appeared to me -       How access a state of deep writing -       PLUS a powerful visualisation to help you listen deeply and invite inspiration In each episode, I will talk for about fifteen to twenty minutes, and then offer you a timed writing exercise at the end to try, for another ten minutes. Grab yourself a cuppa and settle in for a lovely writerly chat. With inspiration from Antonio Machado, Jane Hirshfield and Haruki Murakami. I hope this podcast will help you write fearlessly, and with joy, and build a writing practice that nourishes you for the rest of your life.
