This book invites you in! Combines journal thoughts and storytelling techniques
I could have written my review sooner. I should have written my review sooner. I had a feeling when I saw this book advertised that I was going to be happy with it. I was super excited when I was chosen to receive a copy in print format to review! As soon as it arrived I tore open the package and cleared my schedule. I was just going to page through and get a feeling for the book.
I could not stop at that! This book invites you in! It invites you to get comfortable, and begin exploring. Then you want to do more. You want to share the experience. I gathered some basic materials, nothing expensive. The author gently encouraged me to begin, to see what I was able to do.
Fear stops most artists. I believe we all have creativity in our souls. We just fear not being as good at others at expressing that talent, or being judged. By giving us simple steps to getting started, creating a ritual, setting up a space to express your creativity, taking telling your story in steps. Jeanine Oliver encourages the reader to explore and dig into her own creative well.
Combining private journal thoughts and storytelling techniques, explaining people in your life as a cast of characters, and wonderfully presented with muted photographs, this book was not intimidating at all. It is something I will return to again and again to repeat the process.
I am very grateful I was allowed an advanced copy of this book. The enjoyment, rating and review are all my own.
