Over de Auteur

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 If You Want to Write, her best-selling classic on the process of writing that toon meer has already inspired thousands to find their own creative center. Carl Sandburg called this book "The best book ever written about how to write." Yet Ueland reminds us that "Whenever I say 'writing' in this book, I also mean anything that you love and want to do or to make." Ueland's writing and her teaching are made compelling by her feisty spirit of independence and joy. toon minder

If you want to write : a book about art, ind… door Brenda Ueland

een boek uit 1938 dat nog steeds een van de mooiste inspiratieboeken is voor schrijvers en iedereen die niet die durft te beginnen. Hier zijn de slotwoorden:

Because the best way to know the Truth or Beauty is to try to express it. And what is the purpose of existence Here or Yonder but to discover truth and beauty and share it with others?… (meer)
