The Sound of Paper

'Lately, I am trying to provoke myself into art - into writing...I wasn't exactly in despair - I was in cynicism, which is despair's more torpid sister...Let me tell you how writing snuck back on me.' Whether you are starting from scratch or need a gentle nudge back in the right direction, "The Sound of Paper" is a wonderful creative companion. Through inspiring essays and practical tasks, it stimulates creativity so that the reader becomes more and more familiar with their own strengths. Including her own fascinating journey from writer's block back to productive work, which takes the reader across America from New York to New Mexico, this is a story of inspiration infused with brilliantly practical suggestions, the perfect combination for anyone on the path to creativity.
