Anne Lamott's work is amazing and this is one of the books I re-read regularly. Another favourite is Old Friend from far Away: The Practice of Writing Memoir (Natalie Goldburg). Her Writing Down the Bones is one that I also re-read every year or so. These two tomes are brilliant and helped improve my writing. Check them out. Natalie's website is over here: https://nataliegoldberg.com/ (P.S.: She compares writing to running! I "sprint write" every day (10 minutes timed no stopping writing).)

Funny that you should mention Natalie Goldberg, Bonnie - I have read Long Quiet Highway many times. There is so much in that book that speaks to me!

We are the same in that assessment :) Do you have any other favourite books on writing that appear on your reading list regularly?

Not really. I enjoyed Woe is I and Writing Without Bullshit, but I wouldn't put them on the regular reading list. :-) I am currently reading about humour writing. I love writing that makes me chuckle. How about you?
