How to be creative in a busy world

In a world crowded with innumerable distractions and incalculable nuggets of new information, it’s often difficult for even the most productive writers and artists to find the time and space for quiet musing and the quality moments that so often lead to new creations.

Acclaimed Northwest writers and friends Brenda Miller and Holly Hughes saw that the pace of life was spiraling out of control for their students and fellow writers and interfering with the activities that were most important to them. In response to these concerns, they began a year-long conversation in letters on writing and contemplation, and on how writers can create space for their work and how mindfulness practice can strengthen writing.
