Write The Book: Conversations on Craft
Arts:Books
American novelist, essayist and poet Barbara Kingsolver, whose new book is Unsheltered (Harper).
Barbara Kingsolver is one of the reasons that I write. I loved Animal Dreams, her 1990 novel published by Harper Collins. After I finished that book, the voices of Kingsolver's characters would not leave me alone (in a good way). I recalled how much I love to write, and began to write a book of my own. Since that time, writing has offered solace, inspiration, satisfaction, and a sense of achievement. Reading her beautiful prose always inspires me to go to my desk. So today - sure, call it a Prompt - I encourage you to seek out the work you love, read it again, let it wash over and inspire you.
Good luck with your work in the coming week, and please listen next week for another prompt or suggestion.
