Why this book is great:
Teaches you to draw, write, sing.
Gorgeously illustrated with ink-link drawings, watercolor, and collage.
Provides a thousand and one places for you to begin writing.
Teaches you how to follow the wandering mind ... this "takes practice".
Tells you about time:
We say I do not have that kind of time. The kind of time I have is not for this but for that. I wish I had that kind of time. But if you had that kind of time, would you do it? Would you give it a try? This kind of doing both takes and gives time -- makes live the dead hours inside us. But how to begin it? And [p. 81] she shows you. |
Shows the value of your hand being in motion.
Shows the seriousness of play.
Gives you the answer to the questions
A willingness to explore bad memories as well as good.
The real joy is knowing that if you felt the trouble in the story, your kingdom isn't dead. [p. 54] |
