Books and Such
After a lovely summer picnic this afternoon, my friend Jane asked me about books I've read lately. Currently, I'm enjoying Lisa Scottoline books and Agatha Christie. But one I forgot to mention to Jane is the book I'm reading called Finding Water: The Art of Perseverance by Julia Cameron. It's a book about writing--or any creative or artistic endeavor--and how to keep at it when the waters run dry. I was definitely having a dry spell this past spring--probably the closest thing to writer's block I've ever had. But thankfully it passed as I kept writing and kept at it. I've just barely started reading Finding Water, but I always enjoy Julia Cameron's fresh perspective on creativity and writing.
