If You Want To Write by Brenda Ueland

If You Want To Write by Brenda Ueland

An inspirational tract aimed at all those who would write but are prevented from doing so by shyness, fear or humility... I was with [Ueland] right up to the end and wanted to shout |Amen.|| - Andrei Codrescu, NPR

Brenda Ueland was born in Minneapolis in 1891 and grew up there. For many years of her adult life she lived in New York, working mostly as a freelance writer and disliking her work. Returning to Minneapolis, she began to teach writing in various community settings in the Twin Cities. She said of herself that she was born on Lake Calhoun in a happier time before automobiles. Brenda Ueland was the author of three books, If You Want to Write, ME, and Strength to Your Sword Arm, many articles and short stories, and was a long-time teacher of writing. She was knighted by the King of Norway and set an international swimming record (for over-80-year-olds). She lived by two rules: to tell the truth, and not to do anything she didn't want to do. She died in 1985 at the age of 93.
