The Writing Life by Annie Dillard
One of my all-time favorite books about writing. Not much concrete to carry away. But very poignant observations on what it means to write.
Wild Mind Living the Writer’s Life by Natalie Goldberg
Another excellent book on writing. This one with some practical advice on writing and lots of good exercises to get you going.
Writing Down the Bones, Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg
More from Goldberg. I like her approach, particularly the focus on ‘beginner’s mind”
Bird by Bird. Annie LeMott’s classic
Fearless Creating by Eric Maisel
I’m taking a Creative Coaching class from Maisel
Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland
This is a keeper. My painting teacher loaned it to me and then I kept it and kept it. Gave it back though. Have to buy it. Really.
