Ray Bradbury’s book, Zen in the Art of Writing, has had a profound freeing experience on my writing. I’ve read it at least a half dozen times and keep my worn out paperback copy close by. I pick it up whenever my writing spirit needs to catch fire. Here’s a bit from his book to fire you up.

“And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.” ~  Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing

A new serialized story, Doing It Our Way, begins in 2 days

By Ray Calabrese

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
