Calling all writers

If you're interested in learning more about the actual craft of writing, check out one of the following books:

Heard's Writing Toward Home: Tales and Lessons to Find Your Way





Lerner's The Forest for the Trees: An Editor's Advice to Writers






Goldberg's Wild Mind: Living the Writer's Life


When I finish reading them, I'll let you know which one I find most helpful and/or interesting. They're all cheap at half.com.

Good to know. I bought the Forest for the Trees at the Emmet O'Neil book sale this winter because it looked interesting. If you recommend it, certainly it must be good.

Have you read Brenda Ueland's book If You Want To Write? Lauren Brooks gave it to me for Christmas and I've really enjoyed perusing it.

Sorry I haven't called you back. Caring for a sick kid consumed my waking moments last week. It meant a lot to hear your voice :) I'll call you soon!
