Jules Swales teaches Jack Grapes’s Method Writing, developed by Jack Grapes, as a creative process, to enable writers to find and deepen their unique voice, to produce written work that is dynamic and powerful and therefore become better writers.
Disquieting Muses is level 4 of the Method Writing process and is often considered to be one of the most challenging levels, not least because there is no ‘right’ way to write from the Muses. An unexpected outcome of this level is that the authors often discover profound truths about themselves in the process.
Whilst they are based on archetypes, no two Muse energies are the same which is demonstrated by the stories in this book. They are wide, varied, and surprising. You can see how the same Muse energy is different for every author and get a glimpse of what they learned about themselves in the process. The results are stunning and often profound. Each muse presents itself in unique and unexpected ways. Some of the stories contain mature content.
Reviews
"I highly recommend this book and its approach for anyone who is wanting to explore themselves through writing and in doing so become a better writer." - Michael Monks, Actor, Director, Acting Teacher
"Powerful. Thought provoking. Important. Every line is a winner. I’ve never heard of a book like this, and the whole concept is so interesting! I loved every word!" - Nancy Aronie - NPR commentator, author, columnist
"Stories from the Muses is an incredible book, both a tool and a new way to explore. I certainly will apply these disquieting muses to my own work as a writer and a teacher." - Justen Ahren, Author of A Machine for Remember, and Founder of Devotion to Writing.
