Spotlight Book & Excerpt
A Writer's Book of Days by Judy ReevesBeing Vulnerable on the Page

Writers expose more of themselves than any other artists. When we write about what matters to us, we unveil our deepest feelings. Sometimes even to ourselves and often when we least expect it. When we write about human frailties, we are writing about the fragile scraps of ourselves. Our words tell the truth about more than what we’re writing; they also tell the truth about us.

Excerpted from the book A Writer's Book of Days: A Spirited Companion & Lively Muse for the Writing Life (2010 revised edition) by Judy Reeves.
