Description:

In this reissue of a now-classic text, Barbara Ueland shows that it's not so much about how to write as how to live in a manner that will foster what creativity exists within: about how to free the independence of one's spirit in such a way that the art contained therein will find its truest expression.

Everybody is talented, original and has something important to say



"Imagination is the Divine Body in every Man"




Why a Renaissance nobleman wrote sonnets



The Imagination works slowly and quietly



"Sooner strangle an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires"




"Know that there is often hidden in us a dormant poet, always young and alive"




Be careless, reckless! 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 if 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"




"He whose face gives no light shall never become a star"
