What to read?

I’m currently reading “The Art of War for Writers” by James Scott Bell, and I’ll review it when I’m done.  I’ve read quite a lot of books on writing, crafts, knitting and creativity and I will revisit some of them in reviews. Does anyone have reccomendations?  A book that inspired you, gave you insight or started a fun project?

Here’s my list:

  • The Artist’s Way- Julia Cameron (revisit)
  • Simple Abundance – Sarah Ban Breathnach (revisit)
  • Brain Storm -Don Hahn
