This seminar, recorded live at a Writers' League of Texas seminar, is about the creative process and using the simple act of writing to discover who you are and what you think. International creativity expert Gabriele Rico guides you along your own path to self-discovery, reminding you to take risks and keep yourself open to discovery.

 

This is an edited recording of a workshop held by the Austin,Texas Writers' League. As is the case in many educational presentations, a bell indicates when the recorder should be turned off and the "class" should work on the material discussed. This doesn't work for people in cars or listening while at another activity. The recording would be a good supplementary tool for a writing class or workshop. The author is a dynamic speaker, but the better format for this work would have been video. E.F. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

 

From the outset, Rico displays a real teacher's knack, quickly establishing connections and empathy with her audience, drawing on her own personal experiences for demonstrative examples. . . . Rico has a touchy-feely approach, encouraging her followers to reach into themselves and make something great.
