Cultivate a state of mind to help your writing flow with acclaimed writing instructor and Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Sarah Selecky.For over a decade, Sarah Selecky has been running an online writing school as a compassionate alternative to MFA programs for writers of all genres who want to write well. Story is a State of Mind is the logical next step: a gentle guide to help writers strengthen and tap their inner resources in service of a limitless writing practice.For Selecky, writing is both an art and a contemplative practice, and her approach as an instructor is literary and intuitive. Writing exercises and guided meditations are interwoven with practical advice and heartfelt encouragement to help writers find a groove, and to build awareness, confidence, and technique. Less oriented toward solutions to individual writing problems, Story Is a State of Mind moves beyond suggesting fixes for individual writing problems to help writers settle into a mindset that allows them to see possibility and discover totally new connections in their work--and beyond.This is a book that encourages presence, urges us to slow down and get centred, and asks us to embrace a wholeminded writing practice through study, craft, and play. Pair it with Sarah Selecky's Story Is A State of Mind Deck of 50 writing prompts for maximum inspiration!
