Many teachers and aspiring writers use this book as a journal companion.  The first 20 days contain mini lessons that can be used for getting a writing workshop off the ground. Lessons such as brainstorming , people , places things, quickwriting, webbing, crafting leads, manipulating time, etc. Later chapters deal with finding good readers, refining language, writing humor, finding endings.

     "Fantastic book for the person who can hear the writer inside them saying, "write something, write something..." Once I started, I couldn't stop coming up with ideas. I have shared the book with friends who have always wanted to write and weren't sure they could, and now we discuss results over the phone. A really enjoyable book!"

Your pen has a brain in it.  It will remember and create things if you give it a chance. Writing is not dictation from brain to paper.  Something miraculous happens when you write.  A thought appears on the page that the writer did not expect to see; an idea connects with another idea and suddenly the larger purpose of the writing shifts.

Enter into a written journey of self-exploration. With scores of inspiring exercises and motivating examples, Barry Lane leads the reader through the three R’s of writing:

• Remembering: digging up stories lodged in memory

• Reframing: questioning and re-seeing the past

• Re-experiencing: reliving old stories with a new perspective

“In years of teaching writing, I have never seen a book as useful as this one. It’s chock full of practical ideas for finding your stories – enough good ideas to write for a lifetime.”

 ~ Jim DeFilippi, author of Blood Sugar

“…a one-of-a-kind resource for insightful writing triggers and (for) deepening techniques.  This book can serve as an adjunct to psychotherapy or as an itinerary for self-exploration and growth.  I cannot think of a better way to write a prescription for well-being than with The Healing Pen.”

 ~ Dr. Mark Flescher, Psychologist
