//DDD// On My Bookshelf: Writing for the Writer
By Maya Contreras, Editor-in-Chief, The DDD
Bell Hooks’ book Remembered Rapture: The Writer at Work opens with this quote from Virginia Woolf:
“When I ask you to write more books I am urging you to do what will be for your good and for the good of the world at large.”
Each offering of Hooks’ writing is a revealing look at her life, her writing process, and ultimately encouragement for those who are budding writers or who are looking to push through the doldrums of writer’s block. Each chapter is peppered with advice taken straight from her life, one that she expresses both with vulnerability and strength, and just enough humor to find her relatable.
