Sue Monk Kidd’s book Writing, Creativity, and Soul is our next pick for The Highly Sensitive Creative Book Club!
This book is as much about listening to our deeper self as it is about writing!
If you’re interested in learning more about the creative process, love to read OR are a writer OR an aspiring, “soon-to-be” writer, you will love this book.
This memoir almost reads like a story, the story of how Sue Monk Kidd started writing, her creative inspirations from Virginia Woolf to the Bronte sisters and about BECOMING a creative person in the pre-feminist era.
