Let's Face It: Life Can Be Hard

When life knocks us off our feet and into the muck, it sometimes feels impossible to climb out. In fact, the harder we fight, the deeper we sink. But when we can shift our energies and perspective, we find the leverage we need.

Inspired by dozens of writing workshops for cancer patients, domestic violence survivors, and others seeking inner truth, Writing Through the Muck offers thoughtful insight and encouragement for anyone who treasures happiness, peace of mind, and holistic wellness. Discover:

-Surprising evidence that shows why writing is good for you;
-Easy-to-use tools and techniques to awaken thoughts and memories;
-Dozens of poems and quotes to enlighten and motivate;
-Fresh, new ways to look at yourself and your stories; and
-More than fifty creative writing prompts which have already helped countless souls and will get you going on your journey to holistic wellness today.

G. Elizabeth Kretchmer's compassionate prose and concise chapters are perfect for busy readers and writers of all experience levels. In addition, her willingness to share many of her own experiences in the muck--including multiple moves, broken relationships, alcoholism, and cancer, as well as her journey climbing out and moving on--will undoubtedly spark your desire to start writing.

All profits will be donated to organizations supporting cancer patients, domestic violence survivors, and the environment.
