Gail Sher

this book has stuck with me for years after I read it. I got it as gift and started it when I was in a serious rut. I would recommend it to anyone who uses writing to survive.

The Zen psychotherapist, writer, and teacher offers, not a treatise on writing techniques, but inspiration and notes on where be monsters. Particularly apt is "Writer's Anorexia: the Abuse of Creative Power," dealing with the internal saboteur who voices a crippling fear of inner emptiness. Worthy of many re-readings.

This book was timely for me while I was finishing my book, 'Notes From the Mothership ~ The Naked Invisibles' as Sher provided a 'knowing' voice to the internal drama I and perhaps other writers experience on the continuous journey to our respective truth(s).
