Be a lion, be a pirate, when you write-- Why you are not to be discouraged, annihilated, by rejection slips-- People confuse the human and the divine ego-- Why women who do too much house-work should neglect it for their writing-- Microscopic truthfulness-- Art is infection-- The third dimension-- Keep a slovenly, headlong, impulsive, honest diary-- You do not know what is in you-- an inexhaustible fountain of ideas-- On using the imagination-- "The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction"- William Blake-- "He whose face gives no light shall never become a star"-- William Blake.  aFor most, the hardest part of writing is overcoming the mountain of self-denial that weighs upon the spirit, always threatening to extinguish those first small embers of ambition. Brenda Ueland, a writer and teacher, devotes most of her book--published back in 1938, before everyone and their goldfish got their MFA's in creative writing--to these matters of the writer's heart. Still, the real gift of the book is Ueland herself: She liked to write, she didn't care what anyone thought, and she had a great sense of humor. You're simply happy to hang out with her. 0aAuthorship. 4aPaternidad literaria 4aCreative writing. 0aEscritura creativa 4aCreación literaria, artística, etc.
