If You Want to Write: A Book about Art, Independence and Spirit
by Brenda Ueland
I have read this book every couple of years since I was a teenager. I gave it to my Dad to read and he loved it, and said it was so hard to get through because every line was true and made you sit there in awe wondering about your life. I think it's true you have to forget the blahness of similarly titled books and know this book is as much about how to live as how to write. This author wrote it in 1932 or so, and lived to be an octegenarian swimmer. She constantly quotes Keats, Blake, Dostoevsky, Chekov, etc. as if they are flowing in her veins or perhaps under her feet. Anyone I've met who read it said, oh yes, they too read it every few years. So get one!
