The best, most rewarding, most personal writing emerges when writers find their own voices, explore their full potential, and tap into their spiritual core. The writing that emerges from this journey, which author Janet O. Hagberg calls "soul writing," is courageous, fresh, truthful, and compelling. In Wrestling With Your Angels, Hagberg demonstrates how every writer works with two companions - a critic on one shoulder, and an angel on the other. The critic's goal is to destroy our confidence and silence our writer's voice, while the angel helps our writing take on its greatness. Ironically, we must embrace our critic and wrestle with our angel to engage in this spiritual process and find our passion as writers. Wrestling With Your Angels offers sixteen essays and exercises designed to help writers develop soul in their work. Honest and thoughtful, it is a wise companion to this challenging process, inviting writers to dig more deeply into their psyches and delve into the essence of their writing. - Back cover.
