This troubling insecurity is often present in even the most successful writer who despite success is subject to episodes of self-doubt that undermine creativity. To help authors manage this core experience The Writers Crucible offers an in-depth exploration of the psychological underpinnings governing the internal narrative I am not enough. That knowledge enables readers to begin undoing emotional constrictions and connect with an inner source of spiritual nourishment allowing creative energies to move with greater freedom. The Writers Crucible is not a book that tells you how to writeit is one that shows you how to be a writer.
