The Right to Write

What if everything we have been taught about learning to write was wrong? In The Right to Write, Julia Cameron's most revolutionary book, the author of the bestselling self-help guide The Artist's Way, asserts that conventional writing wisdom would have you believe in a false doctrine that stifles creativity. With the techniques and anecdotes in The Right to Write, readers learn to make writing a natural, intensely personal part of life. Cameron's instruction and examples include the details of the writing processes she uses to create her own bestselling books. She makes writing a playful and realistic as well as a reflective event. Anyone jumping into the writing life for the first time and those already living it will discover the art of writing is never the same after reading The Right to Write.

I liked the book The Arist Way so I wanted to read more by the author.

I am not sure what I expected with this book. Maybe more writing advice? What I got was some essays on how she writes and over come writers block. It explored how some things can hold us back and how we need to grant ourselves permission to write. The essays were good and entertaining but again I was expecting something different than what was in the book.
