About the Book:

The Fire Inside: A Companion For The Creative Life

Following in the tradition of The Artist’s Way and Big Magic, this new book by Lucy Adkins and Becky Breed is a must for writers, artists, and anyone who is looking for more in their life . Wherever you may be in your creative endeavors—just tiptoeing in or fully immersed, The Fire Inside will serve as an invaluable source of encouragement and inspiration. We are all creative beyond our wildest imaginings, and this book, through a well-researched collection of essays and heart-opening personal stories, will inspire you to uncover your unique talents and live out your dreams. It is written in a spirit of warmth and generosity, and invites you to say yes to creativity, choose to live a bigger life, and discover how “the magic” happens.

Praise for The Fire Inside:

“Whether using the book as a daily dose of inspiration or a straight-through read (and read again and again), writers and creators of all stripes will be grateful for this lively companion for their life, creative and otherwise.” Judy Reeves, author of A Writer’s Book of Days and Wild Women, Wild Voices.

“…It is impossible to read The Fire Inside and not be inspired to follow our dreams. I recommend it to all artists and artists to be.”—Mary Pipher, author of Writing to Change the World and Women Rowing North.
