Book Review - Writing Spirit by Lynn Andrews

Is a muse a spirit guide or some form of higher guidance? If so, how does a muse communicate with a writer? Do you have a guide looking over your shoulder as you type? These are some of the questions answered in Writing Spirit by Lynn Andrews.This book is for anyone wanting to learn how to tap into inner guidance for creativity in the arts. Whether your medium is literature, oil, pencil, drama or dance, you can be inspired to reach your goals and obtain your heart's desire by taking the first step: Take the first step. Yes, it is that easy. When you take action toward expressing your creativity, divine inspiration will meet you at the piano, at the typewriter, or at the easel.Learn what it really means to be a writer as you learn how to release your inspiration through Shamanic, spiritual traditions. Lynn Andrews has written 19 books using the principles she teaches in this book. I interviewed Lynn on my podcast Writers in the Sky. I love these informal chats where I get first-hand information straight from the author. Most of my podcast shows have two segments lasting about 15 to 20 minutes each. In the first segment, we talk about how the writer got started. We each have our own story and we are encouraged to know how others came to tap into their talent. Then, we discuss the book and any other works the author has completed, as well as any upcoming projects. In the second part of the show, I like to have the author talk about his or her publishing experience. Depending upon how we publish, there is a vast difference in the path we take to get our books on the market. But, all these paths require and involve marketing, so I also ask each author to talk about their book publicity and marketing techniques that work for them.The first and foremost question Lynn asks a writer to answer is "Why are you writing?" The second question is "Who are you writing for?" It's all about including spirit in your writing and in your life.Find out what causes writer's block and how to overcome it when I post Lynn's interview on my blog "http://yvonneperry.blogspot.com/" Friday, August 10, 2007.
