I’m working through Louise Doughty’s A Novel in a Year.

I LOVE Bird by Bird and use it in my Writing 101 class. I also LOVE Stephen King’s “On Writing.” The third book I use is Joan Boalk’s “Writing Your Dissertation in 15 minutes a day.” While my students are freshmen, the principles for writing and the ways in which Boalk takes a huge project and makes it manageable are fantastic! Thank you for posting so many great ideas for books. How exciting can’t wait to check them out!

The Artist’s Way–and any other writings by Julia Cameron–have seen me through decades of angst and self-effacement and now “coming out of the closet” as a writer. Also, there is a Dream Journal series (of which I don’t have the author’s name handy) that I depend upon to draw me out and guide me.

I realised later it may not have originally been published in the USA. Here it is on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Everything-I-Know-about-Writing/dp/0330360736/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336897372&sr=8-1

You’re welcome. Your post was very informative…I’m especially excited to read Bird by Bird (about which I’ve heard many positive things) and Life’s Companion.

If you like books on journaling, you will love Naked Lens. The author cites several books on the power of journaling (I believe Life’s Companion may be one of them) and then explores using video journaling as another channel for self-exploration.

And from the name of your blog I can already tell you’ll love War of Art! It’s kind of like a manifesto for writers. It’s the book that inspired me to write every day.

A friend of mine recommended your blog and I’m glad he did! Thanks again

Reblogged this on PaleInk and commented: Lost the muse? Food for thought on how to find inspiration for writing. I've got to get one or two of these books to get me writing again.

Diane, I had let Evelyn read a chapter when it was really new. I was going to call it “Breast Cancer 101″ and she had another suggestion. I have had one chapter published in a local paper will soon post it on my blog. Then I will update you on the title. Thanks for your interest.
