If You Want to Write

Thoughts About Art, Independence, and Spirit

De: Brenda Ueland

Narrado por: Pat Carroll

In her 93 remarkable years, veteran freelance writer, memoirist, and writing teacher Brenda Ueland published some six million words. She once said there were two simple rules that she followed absolutely: to tell the truth, and not to do anything she didn't want to do. Such integrity both distinguishes and defines If You Want to Write, her best-selling classic that first appeared in the late 1930s and has inspired thousands to find their own creative center. As Carl Sandburg once remarked, Ueland's primer is "the best book ever written on how to write".©1938, 1987 Brenda Ueland and the Estate of Brenda Ueland (P)1991, 1998 HighBridge Company

Inspirational

The narrator is great. Entertaining, informative, and inspirational.

Fantastic abridged version

This was an excellent abridged version of Brenda Ueland’s If You Want To Write.

The readers performance is exquisite, and I would love to see a full version of Brenda Ueland’s work done by this particular reader. Her tone, her inflection, her capture of the feeling and expression in Brenda. Ueland’s work brings home, the most important parts, a Brenda Ueland’s message to us as aspiring writer’s.

The excitement and authenticity the Brenda Ueland, inspires us to was captured by the reader, in conveyed with congruency, that I thought was just wonderful.

I will listen to this multiple times and each time capture something new.

Truly Inspirational!

So easy to give up, because of what others say about your work or you're not qualified!
This book from 1938 rings truer today than when written! Thank you for recommending Mary Gauthier!!!!!

The courage to create

This is a very inspiring book. It’s short but sweet. I recommend this version because the voice actor does a superb job.
