It's been a while since I read a craft book, and I felt like I needed something inspirational, so I found Ray Bradbury's Zen in the Art of Writing.
This is exactly what I needed, so I wanted to pass it along. It's a collection of essays about writing and being a writer. They're realistic, rather than being like those books written by folks who stumbled into some massive piece of luck and then pass it off as the norm in books, just making you feel crappy. Plus, I'm fascinated by the snippets of his life and history that come through in the essays.
Don't come to these essays expecting to be told how to write or anything that straight forward, but do expect to be inspired and entertained.
The random days in the upper 60s we got that were full of sunshine also didn't hurt. In the picture above, I was enjoying the sun on my front porch with a cup of warm chai and Bradbury's book. I haven't finished it yet, but was eager to pass it along.
I was also interviewed on The Vibes podcast, which you can check out in the following places:
Koyote was a great guy to chat with, super chill and interesting. I really enjoy getting to meet new and interesting folks on these podcasts. It's a little less than 30 minutes long.
And, of course, I'm still looking for folks to help get the word out about my upcoming book launch in March! You can sign up at this LINK.
Or if you like to share on social media, this image has the universal link on it so people can find the book at their favorite online bookstore. Feel free to share, and much appreciation for any help!
Have you ever read this Bradbury book? Are there any other inspirational craft books you'd recommend? Do you listen to podcasts?
May you find your Muse.
