One of the first writing books I ever owned, outside of the obvious craft books and Stephen King and Anne Lamott, was
Carolyn See's MAKING A LITERARY LIFE.
The subtitle of this book? ADVICE FOR WRITERS AND OTHER DREAMERS.
Well, that about says it all, doesn't it?
In her chapter, Pretend to Be a Writer, See quotes Ernest Hemingway.
"Writers must stick together like beggars or thieves."
I'd like to add that it's easy to do because my writer friends are not only tons of fun to hang out with, they teach me so much.
Thanks, entourage.
(My bookshelf. By my writer friends and by writers who feel like friends!)And the very first time I WROTE about Carolyn See's book was also one of my first blogposts.
You may read it HERE, if you care to.
