Books,books,books.

When not writing we love to read. Or maybe we read when we should be writing? Well, now you can read and not feel...too guilty. Here is a list of my favorite writing books. They may not all suit you. Good writing mentors are like friends. You have to see if you fit. But if you've hit a wall, need some inspiration, or want to goof off in a productive way - here's a little compas to guide you...

Natalie Goldberg - Writing Down the Bones
Great book about how to get "unstuck".

Anne Lamott - Bird by Bird
One of the most down to earth books about writing and life.

Ray Bradbury - Zen in the Art of Writing
The king of sci-fi himself explains how to get in the groove.

Madeleine L'Engle - Walking on Water
Explains why we write and if we aren't, why we should.

Brenda Ueland - If You Want to Write
Guides the new and would - be writers. A nice essay on creativity.


Fun books to kick-start the muse:
Jason Rekulak - The Writer's Block
Susan Shaughnessy - Walking on Alligators
