Title: Practical Inspiration
Review: A timeless collection of inspirational essays filled with down to earth advice on creativity, art, writing, and life from a noble soul. I've read and re-read this book many times since it was first given to me many years ago by a special friend and it's always rekindled my artistic fires when I was in deepest need of them. Brenda Ueland uses Vincent Van Gogh, William Blake, Shakespeare, de Musset, Mozart, and other artists as examples of hard work, devotion, and passion. No matter how down and out you may be, wherever you may be in your life, "If You Want to Write" will bring you back to your higher self, reminding you that "you have talent, are original, and have something important to say." Sometimes that's all one needs to hear (or realize all over again) in order to take the next step in their lives.
