Writing at the Wellspring: Tapping the Source of Your Inner Genius is a nonfiction exploration of creativity, spirituality, and the deeper forces that shape the writing life. Drawing on twenty-five years of experience as a writer, teacher, and cartographer of the darkly numinous, Matt Cardin reengages the ancient idea of the muse, or daemon, as a guide to authentic creative expression and life purpose. Part memoir, part spiritual manifesto, and part guidebook for writers and creators, the book illuminates the inner currents of resistance, silence, and awakening that flow beneath genuine art. It considers how, in a distracted and unraveling world, writing can become a monastic act of attention and renewal: a way to align with the ground of nonduality beneath experience, and to find steadiness amid cultural upheaval. Intended for authors, artists, and seekers, Writing at the Wellspring combines personal narrative with practical reflection and cultural critique. It invites readers to reimagine creativity itself as a path of awakening, guided by the hidden currents of genius within.
