Ray Bradbury’s book, Zen in the Art of Writing, has had a profound freeing experience on my writing. I’ve read it at least a half dozen times and keep my worn out paperback copy close by. I pick it up whenever my writing spirit needs to catch fire. Here’s a bit from his book to fire you up.
“And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.” ~ Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing

Write what you love and love what you write. ~ Ray Bradbury
Write what you love and love what you write. – Ray Bradbury
A dozen years ago I read Ray Bradbury’s book, The Zen of Writing. His book turned the way I thought about writing on it’s head. I read it once, and I read it again. I read it every year to learn again from one who was in love with writing. In this short 2 minute YouTube video of Ray Bradbury, I hope you catch the fever of writing with love for life.
