Story Is a State of Mind: Writing and the Art of Creative Curiosity

Sarah Selecky

Why I recommend it

Selecky brings writing exercises together with mindfulness and curiosity. It’s a gentle approach to building a creative practice.

What stayed with me

How we arrive at the page affects what we notice. Slowing down can help us find connections that more effort doesn’t reveal.

Who it’s useful for

Writers who feel blocked or want a steadier practice.

A tension or limitation

Being present can help us find material. We still have to revise it for a reader.
