The Journey—and You

You’re here because you’re fascinated by the creative process. Showed up because you’re intrigued by the breadth of originality of contemporary writers. And mostly because you, too, have a voice that is original and pure. You’ve got a pocket (or drawer, safe, trunk, notebook, mind) full of stories you want to write (tell, share, draw, paint, collage, or sing). And, yes, you want those stories to be heard.

On The Writer’s [Inner] Journey, we relate.

I love hearing writers speak about their work. However, I started The Writer’s [Inner] Journey because I crave insight into how they work, or rather, how their creative mind works. I wanted the tangible not the abstract; I wanted to feel connected, not competitive.

The Writer’s [Inner] Journey 5-Question Author Interview is the magical tool I developed early in the blog. It was designed to help authors translate complex, abstract ideas into creative insights the rest of us can relate to—and benefit from.  Every author lined up since the beginning has been utterly cool and fun and generous. And no two are alike.

And speaking of authors, you’ll see we have stellar list—and more to come: New York Times Bestsellers, Los Angeles Times Bestsellers, contributors to This American Life and national magazines, parenting writers, award-winning children’s writers, religion writers, reporters, novelists, memoirists, professional creatives, creative coaches…the menu is endless. [Yum.]

This is home. Wear pajamas or sweats. Write to me like we’re old friends. Soon we will be.
