Living Life as a Writer

ENCOURAGEMENT TO WRITE In this exquisite book, Ronna examines the essential questions, "What does it mean to be a writer? and "What is it to live the life of a writer?" As I read this book, over and over again, I was moved, by one chapter or another, to wish that I had printed copies that I could offer to the participants in my workshops who are struggling with the very practical and philosophical issues she raises. There are sentences whose wisdom and beauty had me scrambling for a pen to write them in my own notebook. For example, she says, "I will write because writing has the potential to make a difference in someone's life, even if it turns out to only be in my own life." She convinces us that publication is lovely, but it's not the point. Writing is the point In this book, new and experienced writers alike, will be encouraged to write, finding inspiration and hope to craft words that pulse at the heart.
