Reviews"A guide to confronting one's own life issues, it is definitely a powerful system for helping the writer complete a full-length manuscript but it also requires a serious examination of how our life stories are reflected and shaped in our work. This book should come with a warning label: 'Be ready, you are going to have to go deeper than you ever imagined.' " - Dorothy Allison, author of Bastard Out of Carolina "Zelda Lockhart's soulful guide for fledgling writers is an extraordinary gift of generosity and eloquence, a treasure map of our uncharted imaginative topographies." - Dana Heller, Eminent Scholar of English, Old Dominion University "Rather than hiding from our past and the difficulties we have each endured, Lockhart teaches us how to shine a light on those painful memories and make sense of them through writing resolutions to those stories. Part creative writing and part therapeutic writing, Lockhart's work is open, accessible, and allows writers to gain new perspectives on life events that have shaped us." - Dr. Michele Forinash, director of Expressive Therapies Division, Lesley University "The main message in this book is to transform your psychological wounds and utilize your spiritual strength in order to find your authentic voice. And like a good therapist or counselor, Lockhart is there with you all the way, providing encouraging insights and important ideas to keep you moving along the path. This is a must-read for anyone who has ever wanted to write an emotionally forceful and soulful piece of fiction, memoir, or poetry." - Dr. Mitchell Kossak, associate professor of counseling and expressive therapies at Lesley University and author of Attunement in Expressive Arts Therapy: Toward an Understanding of Embodied Empathy

Synopsis"This book should come with a warning label: 'Be ready, you are going to have to go deeper than you ever imagined.'" Dorothy Allison Author of Bastard Out of Carolina Utilize your emotional, psychological, and spiritual self to produce the first draft of a full-length manuscript. This book helps you take the stuff that has been making a mess of your life and use it instead to make art, harmonized with craft. It acts as creative companion for individuals (those with or without writing experience) as they journey through the sharing of an impactful event in life, do exercises that help them transform internal obstacles into external gifts, and then write resolution and outcome. Lockhart's own rough drafts and excerpts from published fiction, memoir, and poetry of writers like Toi Derricotte, Helena MarIa Viramontes, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, along with films by writers and directors like Sherman Alexie offer kinship on the journey of unearthing and sharing a personal plot. At times, you will feel that the book is designed to produce a new emotional, psychological, and spiritual you and that your resulting manuscript is merely the byproduct. Both are true of the design, because the purpose of art is to make yourself vulnerable about your experiences here in life--to have the courage to be vulnerable about those experiences so that you can connect with others who came here solo like you and will leave solo just like you. And that process of sharing is transformative., "This book should come with a warning label: 'Be ready, you are going to have to go deeper than you ever imagined.'"
