What makes someone a writer? A writer writes, expressing the worldthrough synthesis of mind and magic, sensuality and spirit. With both humor andreverence, Room to Write playfully prevails on us to experience the worldthrough a writer's eyes, and respond to the creative sparks that charge good writing. In two hundred daily essays, the author invites the reader--whether an experiencedwriter or someone just starting out--into the crucibles from which creative writing erupts:emotion, imagination, intellect, and soul. Once there, she urges the reader to grab a pen,grasp a keyboard, and seize the moment when perception fires revelation and languagebecomes art. Each page features an essay exploring an aspect of the writing process, an exercise toget the reader writing, and a quotation to tickle the mind and keep the writing going.Ultimately, readers learn about how they write, and how to trust their intuition. Room to Write is a collection of beguiling provocations, an irresistibleinvitation to all those who believe that writing, like any creative endeavor, is a way oflife.Goldberg, Bonni is the author of 'Room to Write Daily Invitations to a Writer's Life', published 1996 under ISBN 9780874778250 and ISBN 0874778255.
