Synopsis
Writing Your Way illuminates what writing is about, how we can begin and the many reasons why we should create our own personal journals.Keeping a journal is often the first step many of us take when we want to write. In Writing Your Way, poet, writer and therapist Ellen Jaffe weaves the wisdom and works of poets, storytellers, fiction and non-fiction authors into a thoughtful narrative about journalling. As well, guided exercises offer inspiration and insight as we test the waters of our own creativity. The book moves through the four directions of the wind. East explores new beginnings, creativity and origin; North, spirit, wisdom and teaching; South, playfulness and passion; and West, emotions and inner truth. Jaffe understands that writing serves many purposes - it can help us explore painful issues and recover from traumatic events, develop our self-confidence and self-esteem, consider our future and reflect on our past. Writing Your Way combines technique and self-exploration to help us discover our personal style of writing.

Synopsis
"Writing Your Way" is organised according to the four directions of the wind: East for new beginnings, creativity and origins; West is for emotion and inner truth; North for spirit, wisdom and teaching; and South for playfulness and passion. The directions hold different meanings for each individual and the reader is invited to start with whichever direction feels best for her. Three to four writing exercises within each section help the individual look at specific issues in a comfortable, easygoing pace. Through a combination of her own narrative and poetry and the poetic inspiration of other feminist authors - Audre Lorde, Margaret Atwood, Lorna Crozier, Barbara-Helen Hill, Ursula LeGuin, Natalie Goldberg - Jaffe takes us on a journey of what writing is about, how we can begin, and the many reasons we should. "Writing Your Way" is a supportive and encouraging book that eases us into the first steps of writing and self-exploration.
