	becoming a writer - dorothea brande - duck for cover
		This book was written in 1934, apparently, and it's by no means outdated, although a bit quaint in places.
		Very, very useful for beginning writers who don't know where to start and are awed by the enormity of the task ahead (especially if they have read anything like this, written, oddly enough, by the same man who wrote the introduction to this re-issue of Brande's book).
		The best part about this book for me was the realisation that I may actually be somewhat past this stage at the moment, because I am writing regularly and it's going quite well.

	Becoming A Writer
		Brande gives us hope that they are both embodied in us and can be recognized and utilized at the right time and place to reach our writing goals.
		Brande's 1934-style prose was a little difficult to wade through at times, but soon I found myself sitting down with her for a cup of Mate and discussing my latest writing block...this review!

		Brande came from the 30s era when she didn't have to contend with the computer, editors that only read two or three pages of a book before they throw it in the trash pile, or the pressures of a fast moving market.

	Becoming A Writer by Dorothea Brande, An On Writing Review by Bobby Matherne
		It is a classic in the sense of timelessness because Brande writes as though she were writing today with our wealth of split brain/dual brain studies, but without using the buzzwords, only the insights.
		Her understanding of the conscious and unconscious mind of writers and artists was as complete as a World Class NLP Practitioner in both her exercises and her use of metaphor.
		Brande must be the innovator of the concept.

	A Review of Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brande :: The Compulsive Reader :: A Haven for Book Lovers
		Brande emphasizes what many see as an unfortunate failing and others as myth or hyperbole: that writers are a different sort of person.
		Brande insists that, if you're serious about writing for a living, you must tackle your fears and insecurities, and if you cannot banish them, then learn to keep them at bay while you work.
		Not only does Brande's book coax and inspire, but it also reads well, an important consideration since those who want to benefit from her advice must lay it aside and then return to it after taking the time to complete each exercise.

	The Stories of a Girl » Dorothea Brande is kicking my butt
		Now I’ve returned to Brande it’s just what I need right now as I’m encountering what she calls a “deep inner resistance” to writing, which is of course totally ironic because it’s the only thing I really want to do and yet I fight myself at every turn.
		The Dorothea Brande book got me thinking about this, because a lot of writers will say, “Well, I can do x number of words at a go and that’s about my limit.
		Brande encourages writers, as part of the training routine, to keep adding to that number, a little at a time, until you double your output.

	Amazon.fr : Becoming a Writer: Livres en anglais: Malcolm Bradbury,Dorothea Brande (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Refreshingly slim, beautifully written and deliciously elegant, Dorothea Brande's Becoming a Writer remains evergreen decades after it was first written.
		Brande believed passionately that although people have varying amounts of talent, anyone can write.
		In fact, Brande is unreasonably dismissive of journalism as if it were just an uncreative, prostituted form of "real" writing.

		Ms Brande also strikes a refreshingly honest balance between encouragement (anyone can become a writer, with persistence and application) and realism (but it may not be the path for you).
		It's very much a book of it's period: writing about the different weights of paper to use in your typewriter; and clearly influenced by the trendy new studies in psychology at that time.
		Brande's honest and straightforward writing is worthy of your attention and I recommend it as one of the best books on living the writer's life.
