More like 3.5. Can't recommend the delivery unequivocally, but great message.
I enjoyed the seemingly simple reminders scattered throughout this book to consistently DO my thing (whether that's writing or dancing or meditation or martial arts or pottery or public speaking or basket weaving). Because it's only in the doing of it that the craft and skill are made. What I didn't enjoy as much were what felt like massive tangents the author indulged herself by sharing too much of her students' writing. I just didn't care that much to read page after page of what she felt was a lovely example of good writing. The book is worth the read (skip the students' samples) and one I will revisit for my own under linings and marginal notes.

Книгата е писана 30-те години на 20-ти век и има някои полезни съвети и идеи за размисъл. Като цяло обаче - нищо особено. Липсваше ми структура на записаното - може би заради електронния формат, а и може би защото самата авторка обяснява как "нямало смисъл от планиране и структуриране". В общи линии звучеше като една тирада от впечатленията на тази жена как се пише...
Mostly things I've heard already but it always sinks in a little bit more when presented by a new voice. I particularly liked the advice: if you don't like a story you wrote, write two new ones then go back to the first one.
This was such an inspirational book for me as an artist. It motivated me to continue to write and paint when I felt my art was worthless. It may still be worthless, but through this book, I began to have fun with the process again. I'm happy to see there are so many people who like this book as much as I did. I recommend it to anyone who wants to create something. I think Miss Ueland had a very nice philosophy of how to live.
A surprisingly (at least for me) energetic read that doesn't offer steps so much as advice on how to be a better writer. What really kept me reading, in the end, was Ueland's sense of humor throughout.
