If You Want to Write: A Book about Art, Independence and Spirit
by Brenda Ueland
While some parts were a bit too poetic or too 'here's what a student did wherein i have to read that student's passage' I really enjoyed the book overall. She's inspiring and I immediately wanted to get to writing after reading her whys (re: because it's awesome to be able to create) and why nots (re: money) and the hows and how nots. I loved that she likes the approach to just write, to not plan it out, and just do it. Write and write and write and be specific and ask questions and do nothing and do everything. It all seems a lot like mediating. I like.
