In The Writing Spiral, Jessica Outram engages our minds and spirits as she explores how we can cultivate a writing life that guarantees growth and development, inviting us to respond with inquiry and daily writing practice. We write what we learn.
Using the contributions from thirty emerging and experienced writers, The Writing Spiral demonstrates the way learning about creativity, courage, solitude, community, ambition, perseverance, curiosity, and love develop mastery-to make an expressive, inspired writer.
A comprehensive learning program designed to call writers to action, this book utilizes research-based learning strategies, humour, metaphor, and interactive exercises to awaken the learner in you. To become a better writer, you need to become a better learner. A diverse collection of poems, stories, memoirs, and essays The Writing Spiral promises to take you on a journey around layers of experience, knowledge, and inquiry to awaken your writing core.
The Writing Spiral offers a new vision that encourages us to define our writing spirals: to embrace reflection and analysis, to love learning, and to courageously write our truths and share our stories.
