en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 apr 2010
For most, the hardest part of writing is overcoming the mountain of self-denial that weighs upon the spirit, always threatening to extinguish those first small embers of ambition. Brenda Ueland, a writer and teacher, devotes most of her book, to these matters of the writer's heart. Still, the real gift of the book is Ueland herself: She liked to write, she didn't care what anyone thought, and she had a great sense of humor. You're simply happy to hang out with her.

Notă biografică

Brenda Ueland (1891-1985) was an American writer, journalist, editor, teacher, and advocate for creative independence. She wrote fiction, essays, journalism, memoir, and books on writing, but her lasting reputation rests especially on If You Want to Write, a work that has remained influential among writers, artists, teachers, and readers interested in creativity and the inner life of making art. Graywolf Press notes that Ueland was the author of three books, wrote many articles and short stories, and spent years teaching writing.Ueland's approach to writing was grounded in truthfulness, freedom, close observation, and trust in the creative power of ordinary people. She resisted the idea that art belongs only to the credentialed, polished, or professionally sanctioned. In If You Want to Write, she presents writing as a moral and imaginative practice: a way of paying attention, telling the truth, developing independence, and refusing the deadening effects of fear, vanity, and false authority. For readers of classic writing guides, creativity books, women's literary nonfiction, and spiritually serious self-culture, Ueland remains a direct and invigorating voice.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

2011 Reprint of 1938 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Ueland published two books during her life. The first was "If You Want to Write," first published in 1938. In this book, she shares her philosophies on writing and life in general. She stresses the idea that "Everyone is talented, original, and has something important to say." Drawing heavily on the work and influence of William Blake, she suggests that writers should "Try to discover your true, honest, un-theoretical self." She sums up her book with 12 points to keep in mind while writing. Carl Sandburg called "If You Want to Write" the best book ever written on how to write.
