One of the most inspiring books on writing that I have ever read. This is not a how-to, or even a book of exercises to get started. It doesn't explain how to create plots, or dialogue, or how to submit manuscripts. Instead, it looks at why so many writers procrastinate, give up part-way through novels, and don't get around to sending anything in.

This is one of my favorite books that have formed the core of what I consider necessary to living. Sounds dramatic, but true.

This is an oldie but goodie. It's been on my shelf for the last five years and I have re-read it now three times. Everytime I get a few more things out of it that helps my writing. I've decided to keep this on my shelf for now and read it again next year. It's definitely a keeper for me. At least for now. The book is difficult to find, so if you do, celebrate and enjoy it. I have another chapter I want to re-read before I place it back on the shelf.

This book is a great technique book. It's charmingly '80s, and the writer's own writing won't knock your socks off. But it's very good, particularly for those who have read Jill Bolte Taylor's My Stroke of Insight and are interested in what the right brain has to offer.

Back in 1987 when this first came out, it must have been boundary-breaking.
Nowadays, most of what HA Klauser writes about the left and right brain approach is near enough common knowledge. Still, a good read, but unless you're always getting stuck with trying to edit while you should be just writing, go for her other books.

Maybe if you have never written before this might be an okay primer. But it seemed too elementary and obvious to me.

This book is a must read for all writing teachers. Very insightful about the brain and how we process information.
