Steven Valentine, From Writer to Author: DONE IN DISBELIEF

DONE IN DISBELIEF: TRANSFORMING "MANIC DEPRESSION" INTO CREATIVE ENERGY
By Steven Valentine
-------------------------------------------------------------------

To find our way out of "manic depression"; who among us can say for sure?

Those in the medical field cannot, neither can any from the fields of chemistry and psychology: nor any of the sciences and healing arts can ever really tell us for certain, the pathways we must follow to our own restoration of body, mind and spirit.

However, when one is moved to reach out and share such an unimaginable plight, which grips so many in our culture, where no two are ever alike, it is a gift which comes soulfully from personal revelation.

In DONE IN DISBELIEF, Steven Valentine shares with us a compelling process of self discovery, so intimate and so revealing, we cannot help but to gain new insight into the subterranean depths of our own personality...
our lifelong companion.

My work as a videographer, is to capture artistic and creative process, which often yields information as significant as the outcome itself, if not more so.

Here, we see a glimpse, as Steven likes to refer to it, of the amazing process in writing his first book, a full year prior to its being published.

Onward and upward,
Ellison

Here is what Steven Valentine says about his work:

"Done in Disbelief is what I did and do to channel manic depressive energy. My theory is simple. I don't do anything to get rid of depression, it just makes it worse. Instead, I do what I love - writing - and transform the depression, anxiety, and even my fears. Doing what you love creates a new context for your life. Jesus spoke of using your talents; Joseph Campbell said "Follow your bliss;" I say do your thing. What that thing is, only you can know. Done in Disbelief: Transforming "Manic Depression" Into Creative Energy is my thing told in notes and dreams. Don't be normal. Normal people can't change."
