Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brande

4.0

This is partly becoming a writer, but partly making time in your life for art. I almost think this is a cliff notes version of the Artist's Way, but with more of a writing slant. The best advice, besides morning pages, is treating writing like any other exercise - practice making yourself write longer, practice even when you don't feel like it, don't do it for glory, and give yourself time to ruminate before you really get going on a Big Idea. Really, this is as useful for any enterprise as it is for writing, even though it's about writing.
