A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For most, the hardest part of writing is overcoming the mountain of self-denial that weighs upon the spirit, always threatening to extinguish those first small embers of ambition. Brenda Ueland, a writer and teacher, devotes most of her book--published back in 1938, before everyone and their goldfish got their MFA's in creative writing--to these matters of the writer's heart. Still, the real gift of the book is Ueland herself: She liked to write, she didn't care what anyone thought, and she had a great sense of humor. You're simply happy to hang out with her.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In her 93 remarkable years, Brenda Ueland published six million words. She said she had two rules she followed absolutely: to tell the truth and not to do anything she didn't want to do. Her integrity shines throughout her bestselling classic on teh process of writing - a book that has inspired thousands to discover, or rediscover, their own creativity. Carl Sandburg called it """"the best book ever written about how to write.
