About the Book

A book to inspire, impel and sustain the person who wishes to live creatively — this is an allegory about a writer who struggles with her craft, with motivation and most of all with doubt. One day a guide, whom she calls Godfrey, turns up. From winter till spring, on the beach where the writer lives, in the mountains and by the valleys and vines, the writer asks and Godfrey explains: what it is, this creative life, how to live it, and how to keep on going.

From Joy Cowley’s foreword:
Creativity in all its forms ~ social, artistic, domestic ~ tends to take the creator beyond the personal and into the great heart of creation where there is an experience of the interconnectedness of all things. But there is not much written about this process, at least, not much written in language we can all relate to. It takes a special kind of talent to take the mystical, and present it in a form that is as simple and delicious as bread and butter pudding.

Fishing from the Boat Ramp is … a book of soul wisdom for everyone who has a bit of the artist in them. …This book is packed full of comfort, handy hints, truth, wisdom, lovely scenery, and the glorious freedom of being.
