The Mindful Writer book of short inspirational passages for authors to consider and contemplate upon.
The book is constructed around quotes from authors and Dinty Moore’s comments on those quotes, followed by some light exercises to encourage mindfulness when writing. It’s the kind of book you could pick up and dip into occasionally, and, as such, would be better in paperback than ebook.
It works well enough for what it is, and it’s good to see something that at least broaches the role of mindfulness in writing, but I would love to see something deeper on the topic written by someone with a lot of experience in meditation, because if this author had that experience, it didn’t come across.
