Summary: A dark night of the soul cannot survive in the light of day.
Comment: This book was an absolute God send! Thank you to the reviewers for your honest and open assessment of this book. Without your valuable feedback, I would not have picked it up! And thank you to Ms. DeSalvo for sharing your research and experience with us! If, like me, you have always felt an incredible ache to write but have been too afraid to sit down and face the page, this book may help you to recognize that inner voice and the benefits of following it's guidance in an exploration of your own story - whether it be in the form of fiction, poetry, journaling or memoir. You are not alone in this, there is a very real reason you feel great discomfort every time you run away from your writing and such relief when you finally admit to yourself what you must do and just allow yourself to do it. The world is waiting to hear your story and this book can help you see the rewards of telling it, both personally and globally.

Summary: Best book on writing and healing I have read!!
Comment: This book has it all if you are interested in writing and healing. The research, examples of well-known authors, and exercises for you to try come together to offer background as well as inspiration. The writing is so entertaining you can forget it is a how-to book and just enjoy --except I am compelled me to stop and write. I highly recommend in the classes I teach and to anyone interested in writing, healing and self-exploration.

Summary: disapointing.
Comment: I felt the author was telling me not to write unless I thought about it - which kind of defeats the purpose of my own stream of consciousness style. I stopped writing after I started reading the book. Writing to Heal the Soul by Zimmerman is much better.
