The book is a series of essays (invitation) each followed by a writing exercise (iniation). Fans of Julia Cameron's breakthrough bestselling book The Artist's Way will enjoy her essays for the writing and spiritual lessons but find some of the writing exercises borrow from The Artist's Way. Her poetic essays are honest, informative, inspiring and encouraging. This is book for the writer or the artist interesting in issues of creativity.

Beginning, struggling or blocked adult writers.

I especially liked her essays, particularly the one about writing and procastination.

I kind of didn't like it had some same exercises as her other major book.

It made me want to write or at least journal to work through issues.

This book made me feel like writing is worthwhile and that I should increase my writing skills and make more time for it.

The author of this book is immensely talented and wise and has shared it with the world.

It is a valuable tool for a writer who is blocked or has trouble with procrastination or is just starting out.
