Zen in the Art of Writing: Essays on Creativity Third Edition/Expanded by Ray Bradbury
I'm thankful for this book because I relate to it more than other writing books. Most writing books about the creative process talk about how it can be drudgery and how to get past that -- which I'm sure it is for many people -- but I've never felt that way. At one point in the book, Bradbury says he has never understood what other people mean by that himself, and he doesn't talk about writing as if he feels that way either. I found the book very inspiring and interesting, because of this. I wouldn't necessarily say I learned a whole lot, but I enjoyed reading it because it was nice to hear from someone who felt similarly.
I think there are different kinds of writers and different books out there for all of them, but this one spoke to me. I'm hoping there are others.
