    About this ebook

    ““The themes of Ken Kuhlken’s vignettes kept drawing me in: being humble in writing, being generous with giving yourself away, getting quiet in order to write, and how to create a masterpiece that will change someone’s life.” — Philip Yancey, bestselling author

    Writing and the Spirit is a trove of reflections on the attitudes, habits, and practices that lead to inspiration. Learn to: Be Ridiculous, Loathe B.S., Love Like Whitman, Get Free, Pursue Beauty, Become Who You Are, and Behold the Secret of Art.

    "A should-read for every artist, a must read for writers. “In Writing and the Spirit, Ken Kuhlken speaks with all the ease of a friend on your couch. An ingenius, multiple-PhD-holding, wise-man sort of friend, if you have one of those. His observations from the world about us, writers in history and his own experience (failures and triumphs) combine to form an insightful, relevant work. He examines the (inner and outer) confrontations all writers must engage with; among them the nature of inspiration, imagination, and how not to be a hack. He also covers the downright nitty-gritty – the practical conditions we all strive for and against in order to produce works in which ‘the words sing’. This is an all-around handbook of artistic wisdom that anyone who hopes to change the world must read.” Anastasia Campos, writer and photographer
