“Small but powerful—a welcome addition to many writers’ desks, and an inspiring and supportive gift.”—ForeWord

THE MINDFUL WRITER

Dinty W. Moore

This isn’t your typical “how to write” book. Author Dinty W. Moore, a well-respected writing coach and teacher, thoughtfully illuminates the creative process: where writing and creativity originate, how mindfulness plays into work, how to cultivate good writing habits and grow as a person, and what it means to live a life dedicated to writing.

The Mindful Writer features bite-sized essays that will delight and inform not only writers, but also other artists, mediators and mindfulness practitioners. Built around heartening quotes from famous writers and thinkers, it is a resource that readers will turn to again and again for guidance and encouragement.

This edition includes a new introduction exploring the centrality of mindfulness in a writer’s practice and craft as well as a selection of writing prompts to get you started on writing mindfully right away.
