Hello and welcome, dear readers. You might be wondering what this blog is about (or you might not) but, fret no more, because I am going to explain it all right now.
I discovered a little book called Writing begins with the breath, by Laraine Herring, a few weeks ago and I decided to buy it. I don’t want to get too much into it because I’m sure a lot of this will surface in the coming months through my posts, but this book seems to be very special, and has appeared in a moment of my life where I seem to be attracting things and experiences that all relate to each other, one way or another. This book is not the exception.
So, I want to share with you this journey I’m undertaking as I take a plunge into the wisdom I know this book has to offer, if only I choose to open it and let it touch me. Which is exactly what I plan to do.
How is it going to work? I will go through each chapter, do the exercises the author is suggesting, and post the results. Or write about my experience with them. Or maybe just comment on something I found interesting or earth-shattering in a particular chapter.
I honestly have no idea where this is going to take me; it’s an experiment of sorts with a very vague -if hopeful- hypothesis, and I’m trying to start it without a lot of expectations and just see what happens.
A little something about myself: I don’t know if I should call myself a writer or not, but I write. And I love to do it. In fact, there’s nothing I love to do more than writing. But I still have a somewhat fearful relationship with my writing and only recently have I begun to shed my writing fears and make room for a more free approach to my creative process. I hope this whole adventure helps me with this issue; another reason why I’m doing this.
By the way, not everything in this blog will be directly related to this book in particular; I will be posting other things from time to time, from other books, about writing or breathing or anything that revolves around these subjects.
Anyhow, I formally invite you to accompany me in this journey that starts today. I hope you enjoy it as much as I plan to.
