Moo of Writing: How to Milk Your Potential

De: Nan Lundeen

Narrado por: Terri DeKett

Moo of Writing is a unique guide that combines practical tools and meditative wisdom. Poet and journalist Nan Lundeen inspires writers with gentle advice based on her lifetime experience as a writer and backed up by scientific research. Moo of Writing empowers new and established writers, building self-confidence, nudging them along with tips and writing exercises, and drawing on their inner wisdom through meditation. Discover how walking 10 minutes a day or exercising in whatever way works for you can jump-start creativity.

Learn how holding a Moo Stone centers your creative energy. Moodle and daydream. Drag your fear of writing out into the light - you'll uncover the true face of your fears, which nearly always disguise themselves perniciously. Bring yourself to the page daily by practicing an effective habit loop of free writing. Just like dairy cows, relaxed and marvelously productive ruminants, writers need physical exercise and relaxation to Moo or Mu with the Muse. Mu is a Zen koan, a paradox that can't be explained but generally invites you to step aside to find your own way. It's all about relaxing and having fun.

Great for stuck writers!

I really enjoyed reading The Moo of Writing and doing the accompanying meditations & activities. I have been trying to write my own book for some time and after completing The Moo of Writing, I did start it! I had never considered using mindfulness techniques with my writing before and it was a game changer for me. I particularly enjoyed the Inner Child chapter & activity, it taught me to have more fun with my writing. Though I found chapter 9, sweet abundance, the most valuable chapter. It helped me reorient the way I perceive my availability of time. The book is short & sweet, easy to fit into a busy schedule but is best savored to let Nan’s good-sense wisdom sink in.

Excellent advice for any writer

The Moo of Writing is a fun and enlightening resource for writers filled with wisdom that goes beyond just how to write better, but how to get into the creative flow. The title is a play on words, the "moo" of a cow and "mu" in Zen referring to a "phrase or question that leads to contemplation." Author Nan Lundeen does a fabulous job explaining concepts and techniques that writers can employ to become more prolific and effective. Also Terri DeKett is a clear and compelling voice as the narrator. Highly recommended!
