 An enticing and grounding companion for the journey Sep 17, 2007
By Kirsten Keppel
If you're mindful of how today's extreme pull on your time leaves little room for nurturing a creative life, this book offers a very grounded and realistic way in which to cultivate one. And it shows you how to do it in a way that's methodical, possible, and simple. As you reflect on the author's suggestions, you'll find yourself observing inwardly and outwardly and asking yourself more centered, elegant questions about your life's images and symbols. Susan Tiberghien's book allows those of us with only slivers, not swathes, of time to become full travelers on the inner safari. This is a book that offers a writing process of effective 10-minute sound bytes rather than a list of commands requiring an afternoon. What's more, it's just plain FUN without the feel of heavy lifting. I found myself wanting to go deeper and find the center when I tried focusing on only one image in the journal entry exercises. This is a book about mindfulness as much as it is about writing. Much praise and thanks for this book that makes writing so doable!

A great book Apr 07, 2008
By Jelena Bankovic
This is a wonderful book. I have been using One Year to a Writing Life as a textbook this semester in my Creative Writing course. The book is very well conceived so my syllabus follows the twelve lessons, week by week, with extra weeks for longer in-class writing. The book provides clear guidance, great examples and it inspires! It inspires me to both teach and write and it inspires my students. Before I chose One Year to a Writing Life as a textbook for my class, I surveyed many texts that are on the market and not a single one comes close to this great book. Thank you, Ms. Tiberghien, for helping all of us who write and who teach writing. Jelena S. Bankovic, Ph.D.

It Got My Essay Accepted Feb 08, 2009
By L. Benton
"Nonfiction Writer"
I had been working on a personal essay for a couple of weeks. As I rewrote it, I used the chapter on personal essays in One Year to a Writing Life as a check list, and saw my essay becoming richer as a result.
I submitted the essay to a publication whose submission information said they would take 4 - 6 weeks to get back to me. They accepted it within 12 minutes of receiving it!
I will be recommending this to my writers' group members.

 Too Mystical Jul 04, 2011
By J. Moore
For example: location 903, she wants you to draw circles, but she calls it something else, and suggests putting an image in there and let it fill your mandala etc. and do other stuff with visualizations. In another location 913, she want you to have a conversation with another image, or have a dialog with your images and let them coach you or speak to you. There is other stuff in there about unconscious guiding you to patterns, and stuff about dreams, and labyrinths, and alchemy. This is really where it starts to enter the twilight zone for me.
I found the technical stuff on essays, and dialogue, etc., very helpful. However if I knew the whole book had this new-agey type overtone, I would not have bought it. Nevertheless I found it useful for the technical aspects of writing.
