My favorite book on writing

I absolutely love this book. Everyone writes about the Zinsser book… but this one really does it for me. Sometimes before writing a piece I’ll just open to a random page and start reading. It helps me get into a wonderful mindset. I feel clear and focused. From Harris Sockel in Creators Hub:

Most of all, this book encourages me to listen to what I actually think before trying to shape those thoughts into words. It’s also taught me a lot about rhythm, beginnings, endings, nerdy things like participles, and clarity. These lessons don’t just apply to writing. They also apply to thinking and living.

The Only Book About Writing You’ll Ever Need

Thank you Mikeal Rogers for recommending it to me forever ago and to Harris Sockel for writing this wonderful feature.
