This is considered a classic in the field. It was first written in 1938 and reissued in 1987. Carl Sandburg called it "the best book ever written about how to write." She stresses writing with simplicity and clarity--being yourself on paper. It should be required reading for government writers and graduate students.

As much a book about living as about writing; it seeks to help people find their creative center. Carl Sandburg calls it "the best book ever written about how to write". Thoroughly enjoyable.

Decent, but not my favorite book on writing (that would be "Writing Down the Bones" by Natalie Goldberg).
