If You Want to Write: A Book about Art, Independence and Spirit by Brenda Ueland

5.0

Carl Sandburg called it the best book ever written about how to write, and I agree. It was published in 1938 and it's still that great. (With apologies to Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, which is also very, very good). This is the best tool for smashing through writer's block that I have ever found. I wish I could have met her.
