Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldburg is a really fun book on writing. It is a little too hippie for me in spots, but her passion for the art really comes through in her book. There is a lot of stuff about the relation between her practicing Zen and writing, but it never gets too heavy. I highly recommend it. I found her love for the craft inspiring.

Huh. I just realized I have this book on my bookshelf.
I've never read it before, but maybe now I should, eh?
