Review by Library Journal Review

Herring is a short story writer who also has a degree in psychology. She draws the principles of yoga into the service of authentic composition, or what she calls "deep writing." The result is a worthwhile and motivating read for all writers, whether or not they are familiar with yoga. Chapters with headings like "Curiosity," "Empathy," and "Acceptance" also function well as short meditations on life. Those who enjoy Julia Cameron's (The Artist's Way, etc.) holistic approach should similarly like Herring's work. Recommended. (c) Copyright 2010.
