Julia Cameron's books

Photo source: https://d1m4ycbbpegue1.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/TAW-25-Cover.jpg I really like Julia Cameron's books. Her prose reads with the rhythm and color of poetry, so it isn't like your typical 'how-to-write' book. Whereas other books 'tell' you where and how to get inspired, Cameron does this by merely putting words to the page. I also think this is the most encouraging and open book on writing I've ever read. I call it my 'block-remover.

I love it. It was really affirming. The premise is simple: No matter what, just WRITE! Write your way to clarity and love. You can do it. The author believes in you. Note: the prompts in this book are pretty much exclusively for getting in touch with your keeping-a-journal, writing-about-your-own-experiences self. They're not prompts for fiction. The reason they're great, though, is because they connect you to that idea that it's good to write about everything, and that writing is a worthy experience in and of itself, not as a means to an end.
