The Mindful Writer

What makes a writer mindful? Is it choosing the right words? Is it making sure that its words match a certain vision? Is it paying attention to the inner mind? Yes. It is all of the above.

In addition, the mindful writer knows its own mind's process of creativity. Maybe one person will write better in the morning and another in the afternoon. Or perhaps words come more easily when in a routine whereas for someone else words might be easier to access in the heat of emotional turmoil. Each muse has a voice of its own and the writer for that muse must pay attention to the vicissitudes of its creative pattern.

There is no writer's block, as this book discusses. What there is, is the heartbeat of the individual muse that sings its own tune and speaks its own voice. So listen carefully. That is mindfulness.
