Writing the Shadow

Turn Your Inner Darkness into Words

De: Joanna Penn

Narrado por: Joanna Penn

Do you want to connect with readers and listeners on a deeper level?

Do you want your books to stand out in a sea of content by being authentic and personal in your writing whatever the genre?

Are you interested in creative self-development?

If yes, Writing the Shadow is for you.

This is a book of my heart and it contains many personal stories—but this book is really about helping you reach readers and listeners with your words—and move to the next level in your writing.

Because we all long to write boldly, without filters or fear.

To spin stories that capture the messy beauty of what it means to be human. Tales that lay bare the truth of living—darkness and all.

But something holds us back.

Whispers of “Who do you think you are?” and “You don’t have permission to write that.” Our own self-censorship and the judgment of others keep us from writing freely—and sometimes, from living fully.

But all great art taps into darkness, and your most compelling work emerges when you embrace your full humanity—both light and Shadow.

In Writing the Shadow, I’ll guide you on an intimate journey to explore the darkness and discover the gold lying hidden in its depths. Gold that may be the source of your best creative work in the years ahead.

The Shadow is calling. It’s time to turn your inner darkness into words.

Loved it! Just what I needed to hear in 2024!

A deeply personal and introspective work about getting in touch with shadow self, the side that we all have and one that we should take heed of, if we want to have a balanced life both as a person of the world and as a productive Creative.

Thank you Joanna for this.

Time for us to let our dark horses run!

Excited to put this work into practice

Joanna Penn gives us permission and encouragement to explore our shadow as authors. I’m an author of one book, but realize other works emerging on much darker topics. Though I’ve been holding back for fear of judgment, Penn has inspired me to get these stories onto the page. Maybe I’ll publish under a pseudonym or maybe I’ll just feel relieved to get them out of my head. Either way, this is a book I’ll return to when I have doubts.
