Writing Without a Parachute: The Art of Freefall shows both beginning and experienced writers how to get the thinking mind to step aside so that writing becomes truly creative - a vulnerable and open-hearted engagement with the moment. Here, for the first time, writing teacher Barbara Turner-Vesselago shares in print the method by which, for almost thirty years, she has helped hundreds of writers to publish fiction, memoir, non-fiction, and poetry worldwide. By means of five simple precepts, she leads the writer step by step into real trust in writing through the art of Freefall: invoking the courage to fall without a parachute into the words as they come. This book can be used for inspiration, as a reference, or as a sustained, twelve-month course in writing. It will help all writers to connect with their deepest intention in writing and to write with greater authority and grace.
