Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury
Zen in the Art of Writing
This book is giving me a passion that I thought was long over in my life. The passion to live like a writer. I don't think my great calling is ever going to be to write a great short story or to invent wonderful characters in far off places like Ray Bradbury but it has given a little spark to my current writing projects.
It was meant to be something to inspire my son and his creative writing but instead it touched my heart and lit a little fire, inspiring me to write a little more than I have been lately. Creatively I mean....to tell a story. So as I write some accompanying assignments for Mr. B to go along with this excellent book, I will be completing them myself in my own creative writing journal. For fun. Yes, I said for fun.
If you are looking for a quick read to inspire you or your high school age children in their writing of any sort, I highly recommend this collection of short essays gathered into one book. It is encouraging as well as entertaining.

You constantly inspire me - you just keep on growing and loving learning along with your family! Homeschool is a wonderful journey and your resources have made it richer by far! Thanks for sharing.
When something has inspired you, it must be wonderful! Thank you for sharing and happy writing!!!!
Same thoughts here, I will order this book and see its effect on me.
Thank you.
