Light the Dark: Writers on Creativity, Inspiration, and the Artistic Process by Joe Fassler
5.0
I'm about halfway through this collection of essays, and I feel compelled to write a review. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is a writer, wants to be a writer, or just wants to know more about how writers think.
The essays are from working writers -- some famous, some well-known, others more obscure -- who discuss what has inspired them or taught them valuable lessons about what it means to be a writer and, just as important, to be human.
All of the essays are good; some are transcendent. I won't say which those are, since I am sure my list will vary from your list.
Lastly, if you are someone who struggles to find time to read, this book is nice because most essays can be read in 10-20 minutes, so it is a good book if you can't find long windows of time to read.
