Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy to review. Exploratory Writing presents the why and how of writing in a way that can be accessible and enjoyable for many. A few of the takeaways for me are: 1. writing is fun, 2. writing can help us see more of what is in front of us, and 3. writing can be just for you. The neuroscience behind why writing is helpful was also interesting. This is more of a why and how of writing, not what I expected but definitely helpful. It reads more like a self-help book than anything. I disliked what I read as the emphasis on self-not much if any mention about community or the challenges of living in our current society (classism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, racism, etc).
