In this section of Spreading The Word, we seek to improve, refine, and encourage your writing. Writing is part work and part inspiration. In Cultivating your Muse, we hope to make them become one by engaging you in writing exercises to open your mind and free your spirit. It is through these "spiritcises" that you become open in your writing and learn to listen to your inner voice. Inspiration means "to breath in", so find some space to create, breathe, and get ready to spend some time with your muse.
