“You're a writer? Don't you just love Writing Down the Bones?”This is one of those books that people just assume you've read when you have an MFA in writing. I had heard quite a bit about it, but I hadn't actually read it until now. But since this book has clearly been highly praised and circulated ...
Around the Year Reading Challenge Item #21: A book from the Goodreads recommendations pageThe philosophy behind this book is pretty much the same as that powering Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within, but I found this book to be a lot more enjoyable.
