Living the Writing Life: A Guided Coloring Book Journal for Indie Authors
As indie authors, many of us are both story-spinners and the sole proprietors of our writing businesses. Living the Writing Life explores both the creative and business sides of being a writer. The journal prompts invite reflection on how and why we write, as well as some of the challenges and opportunities many writers face in their calling. The mandalas and abstract patterns offer a means to disengage from “monkey mind” and let the imagination and senses flow with colors, inner stillness, and creative discovery, paving a smooth path for the emergence of the perfect words, sentences, scenes, story.
Living the Writing Life is a quiet, gentle ally for encouraging the writer to keep believing, keep writing, and keep sharing one’s words with others.
