I just wanted to say sorry for my lack of support in the past month. I'm at the tail end of my post graduate creative writing dissertation and I've needed to focus hard.
     
It has been a LONG time since I have done any writing outside of my reviews (journaling/poetry/creative ramblings) and in just a few days of reading these devotions, my passion was reignited and the encouragement is exhilarating! I really enjoyed the prayer at the end of each devotion entry. The prompts and activities are excellent to motivate those creative juices. Whether you are a blogger, speaker, author or you just enjoy expressing yourself through writing, this devotional is for you!

Book Favorite

"This is actually is fifteen of Edward Gorey’s illustrated masterpieces in one. My favorite is The Unstrung Harp, about a novelist writing his biennial book—the funniest and most accurate description of the creative process I’ve ever seen."

Incredibly creative and disturbing look at transformation
Han Kang is an absolute gem in terms of creative writing and The Vegetarian does not disappoint. It's difficult to explain without completely spoiling the plot but it consists of a woman becoming vegetarian and her subsequent 'transformation'.

The beautiful imagery and the graphic details about mental health is unique, and at times the insanity of the novel resembles Kafka's Metamorphosis. It is definitely in that league of magical realism.
