Writing with your Muse offers techniques, strategies, tools, tips, and stories to help you tap into creative inspiration. You don't have to be psychic to be successful with these techniques, although that natural ability exists in all of us, and these techniques will help you develop your sixth sense. There's even science to back it up. This book will help you if you hear words or see images but find it difficult to get the text on the page, you've written and published but are searching for something fresh and different, you have ideas but don't know how or where to begin, you want to write but have no ideas, or you're suffering from a bad case of writer's block.
