I had the opportunity in January to lead a workshop at the Pat Conroy Literary Center with three novelist friends. My first time being part of a quartet!
As part of the workshop, “Creating Your Writing Practice,” my fellow novelists, Rebecca Godwin, Michel Stone, J.C. Sasser and I discussed tools and books that inspired our own writing practices and sparked our creativity. My recommended reads ranged from John Steinbeck’s Working Days, a journal he kept while writing the Grapes of Wrath, to Deep Work by Cal Newport, a vital, contemporary book about focus and attention.
I’ve created a Bookshop Store where you can find books I recommend.
I’m just getting started and will continue to add recommended reads. if you have suggestions, please share. Just hop on over to my contact page or find me on Instagram.
Buying books from my shop supports independent bookstores. You can click here to see my bookshelf loaded with books about writing that I’ve found inspirational.
