Light the Dark: Writers on Creativity, Inspiration, and the Artistic Process | 
pickI really enjoyed a few weeks of starting my day with a couple of chapters of this book. There are plenty of nuggets of advice and inspiration for writers, and I also discovered some new-to-me writers whose work I‘d like to read. My copy is now filled with underlined, bracketed, and starred passages that I will return to now and then. Glad to have this on my bookshelf! #writersoflitsy
An inspirational anthology of essays on the craft from writers of all genres and backgrounds. Any writer can find positive things to take from this book.
After a season of overwhelm, I‘ve gotten a little too comfortable with inertia and am really struggling to find motivation to write. So I‘m going to take this book like medicine: hopefully an essay a day will chase the writing slump away! 🤞📖💊
pickIt‘s always interesting to read what authors think about process, creativity, and inspiration. This is a book of short essays by well-known writers on those subjects. I think anyone who reads would enjoy this book. And anyone who reads and also writes will find it instructive and enlightening.
Starting out 2018 with this new source of wise writing advice. ✏️📓(And don't worry I moved the pretty candle away from the book—I may be a nerd for photo props but I do know my fire hazards)
This sounds great! Too bad I have all my hold spots taken! (Patience is not a virtue I possess 🤷🏻♀️)
My Christmas Day #BookHaul in totality! 👌🏻
(Not pictured are additional B&N gift cards- my family knows me I think...♥️) Feeling incredibly lucky and excited to add this chunk to TBR Mountain! 🏔📚📚☺️

For me, the song #DarkNecessities is about our dark sides that bring forth light and creativity. This book fits this bill.
#TBRtemptation post 3! Wow, does this book look awesome!!! Just released. A guide to finding creative inspiration from Stephen King, Amy Tan, Junot Díaz, Elizabeth Gilbert, Neil Gaiman, Roxanne Gay, Khaled Hosseini, and 39 other authors. Each writer begins with a favorite novel passage, song, poem--something that gets them started. Then lessons learned through real-world experience are related and explored. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
