In this clarion call to pick up a pen and find yourself, #1 New York Times bestselling author Anna Quindlen shows us how anyone can write, and why everyone should.
To Write the present, Quindlen says, is to believe in the future..
Writing gives you something to hold onto in a changing world.
When we Write we not only look, we see; we not only react but reflect.
Drawing on her personal experiences not just as a writer but as a mother and daughter, Quindlen makes the case that recording our daily lives in writing is essential.
Using examples from past, present, and future--from Anne Frank to Toni Morrison, from love letters written after World War II to journal reflections from nurses and doctors today-- Write for Your Life vividly illuminates the ways in which writing connects us to ourselves and to those we cherish.
Write for Your Life argues that there has never been a more important time to stop and record what we are thinking and feeling.
This is a book for what Quindlen calls civilians, those who want to use the written word to become more human, more themselves.
What really matters in life? What truly lasts in our hearts and minds? Where can we find community, history, humanity? In this lyrical new book, the answer is clear: through writing.
