The Upside of Falling: Connecting to the Art and Heart of Being a Writer

This is not a book about the craft of writing—it’s a book about you.

The Upside of Falling: Connecting to the Art and Heart of Being a Writer invites you to step beyond grammar rules, productivity hacks, and word counts, but instead explore the deeper relationship you have with yourself as a writer.

What if falling could be liberating? So often, writers feel out of control—anxious, blocked, or pressured to perform. Yet, when we shift our perspective, the sensation of “falling” becomes an opportunity for freedom, creativity, and transformation. Through uplifting stories, powerful insights, and practical, easy-to-apply practices drawn from her popular workshops and classes, Cherie Kephart shows writers how to:

• Let go of fear and self-doubt to unlock a more authentic voice
• Embrace the unknown and discover the joy of creative flow
• Reclaim writing as a soul-nourishing practice, not just a goal-driven pursuit
• Awaken new passion for the page through presence, trust, and connection

The Upside of Falling offers a fresh approach for writers at every stage—from beginners seeking courage to seasoned authors longing to reconnect with their love of writing.

Fall freely. Write deeply. Discover the art and heart of being a writer.
