“Most of the methods of training the conscious side of the writer-the craftsman and the critic in him- are actually hostile to the good of the artist's side; and the converse of this proposition is likewise true. But it is possible to train both sides of the character to work in harmony, and the first step in that education is to consider that you must teach yourself not as though you were one person, but two.”
― Dorothea Brande
I have a new used book, titled Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brande. I read a recommendation for this book from Julia Cameron, the author of The Artisits' Way... (an awesome book by the way.) I am looking forward to reading Becoming a Writer -- the snippets I have read seem really good!
