"[W]hen she first began, Anne Frank wasn't writing a book. She was talking to herself. And she was talking to herself in a way that any of us can do too. She was finding solace in writing her life, her thoughts and feelings, day after day. Words to live by."
Write for Your Life ~ by Anna Quindlen, 2022, writing, 240 pages
The book's theme is that we need to leave a legacy of our life by writing about it. When we write we not only look, we see; we not only react, but reflect. Writing gives us something to hold onto in a changing world. Writing connects us to ourselves and to those we cherish. Drawing on her personal experiences not just as a writer but as a mother and daughter, Quindlen makes the case that recording our daily lives in writing is essential.
