It comes first thing in the morning, while the horses are waiting to be fed; it happens at the kitchen counter, while the onions are sautéing; it takes place on "dates" at café tables shared with likeminded friends; it unfurls in the mind as the '65 pickup "bucks over the rutted dirt roads like a stiff-legged bronco." The more than 40 brief personal essays that make up <I>The Right to Write</I> are an unyielding affirmation of the writing life and a denigration of all that gets in the way: busy schedules, procrastination, insecurity, lack of writing space, a day job--you get the point. Cameron's commonsense advice is liberating to anyone who has felt hampered by making a big deal out of writing (this "tends to make writing difficult. Keeping writing casual tends to keep it possible"), by not having the time to write ("Get aggressive. Steal time"), or the like. If you find a spirit that compares writing to revelation, prayer, and Zen pursuits, that might just attribute misguided communication to Mercury retrograde simpatico, then you will find much to embrace here. And you will never, never again dream of waiting for that commitment-free sabbatical in the south of France to get your writing project under way. <I>--Jane Steinberg</I> 2167131 1998 The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life total:297|5:102|4:110|3:70|2:15|1:0| 297 1190 542 46 184825 1585420093 9781585420094 286 46 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172523495m/184825.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/184825.The_Right_to_Write_An_Invitation_and_Initiation_into_the_Writing_Life 5 3 false Mon Jan 28 11:34:10 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 03 17:59:17 -0800 2008 more...]]> 184825 1585420093 9781585420094 286 46 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172523495m/184825.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/184825.The_Right_to_Write_An_Invitation_and_Initiation_into_the_Writing_Life 3 1 false Mon Jul 21 06:51:46 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 06:52:15 -0700 2008 If we are invested...more...]]> 184825 1585420093 9781585420094 286 46 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172523495m/184825.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/184825.The_Right_to_Write_An_Invitation_and_Initiation_into_the_Writing_Life 5 1 false Tue Mar 18 08:33:00 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 18 08:40:58 -0700 2008 184825 1585420093 9781585420094 286 46 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172523495m/184825.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/184825.The_Right_to_Write_An_Invitation_and_Initiation_into_the_Writing_Life 3 0 false Thu Jan 15 08:16:08 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 08:22:48 -0800 2009 more...]]> 184825 1585420093 9781585420094 286 46 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172523495m/184825.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/184825.The_Right_to_Write_An_Invitation_and_Initiation_into_the_Writing_Life 5 0 false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Wed Mar 04 15:13:04 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 15:15:55 -0800 2009 more...]]> 184825 1585420093 9781585420094 286 46 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172523495m/184825.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/184825.The_Right_to_Write_An_Invitation_and_Initiation_into_the_Writing_Life 4 0 false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Fri Jun 06 06:21:57 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 06 06:26:21 -0700 2008 more...]]> 184825 1585420093 9781585420094 286 46 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172523495m/184825.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/184825.The_Right_to_Write_An_Invitation_and_Initiation_into_the_Writing_Life 5 0 false Thu Jan 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 14:53:32 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 14:54:14 -0800 2009 more...]]> 184825 1585420093 9781585420094 286 46 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172523495m/184825.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/184825.The_Right_to_Write_An_Invitation_and_Initiation_into_the_Writing_Life 3 1 false Mon Aug 11 19:54:36 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 03 16:53:23 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 11 19:54:36 -0700 2008
