Part of being prepared to write a book is also making sure that you read. Now it doesn’t matter what you read as long as you are reading but since we are mostly writers or creative individuals here I’m going to specifically focus on books that can help you strengthen your writing and your creative thought process. I’m sure that most of you know of or may have even read some of these books on the list below but these are definitely books that you could (and should) reread when you need extra motivation (or just because).
- On Wrting by Stephen King
- The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
- Writer Mama by Christina Katz
- Bird by Bird by Anne Lamont
- The Writer’s Workout by Christina Katz
- Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert
- Higher is Waiting by Tyler Perry
- Year of Yes: How to Dance it Out, Stand in the Sun and Be Your Own Person by Shonda Rhimes
- Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury
- On Writing Well by William Zinsser
All of these books are great reads for creative inspiration and they are extremely motivating and can of course be found on www.amazon.com. I suggest you buy them, read them, and reread them whenever necessary. Okay so that’s all I have for you today. I hope that all of your planning is going well. Until next time… #BePrepared #BeWellRead
