One Year of Writing and Healing, the Book
What can I say? The book is a tortoise. One Year of Writing and Healing, a deep revision and rewriting of my other site, is not moving quickly—but it is moving—a close-to-final draft finished. I’ll post updates here periodically. Meanwhile, I have a table of contents: Months One & Two: Creating a Healing Place Month Three: Healing as Quest? Month Four: Drawing a Map Months Five & Six: Developing the Habit of Writing Month Seven: Listening for the Voice of the Body Month Eight: Making a Place for Grief Months Nine & Ten: Figuring Out the Good Part Month Eleven: Gathering Resources for the Long Haul Month Twelve: Creating a Guest House And you are welcome to visit One Year of Writing and Healing, the website, here.
