Rodin said that "The main thing is to be moved, to love, t tremble, to live." In other words, to be fully engaged in life and the creativity that exists within. "The Fire Inside," through a well-researched collection of essays and heart-opening personal stories, invites readers to uncover their unique talents and live out their individual dreams. Within each one of us are vast untapped reservoirs of creativity, and when we connect with that potential, our lives will open in wonderful and joy-filled ways. Few books on creativity are so inclusive, so welcoming as this book, offering insight not only for furthering one's abilities in the traditional arts, but also in the day to day creativity which so enriches our lives. Based on the authors' combined fifty-five years of teaching and presenting workshops on writing and creativity, "The Fire Inside" is written in a spirit of warmth and generosity. It invites the reader to say yes to creativity, choose to live a bigger life, and discover how "the magic" happens. Wherever one may be in the creative life---just tiptoeing in or fully immersed, "The Fire Inside" will be a companion in that life, a source of encouragement and continual inspiration.
