About
In this book of essays, over forty successful writers in varied fields―poetry, science, the performing and visual arts, psychoanalysis, journalism, literature, and more―explore what drives them to write, and to work at their craft.
In contributions arranged under three headings―"Models and Mentors," "Urges and Traumas," and "Evidence and Experiences"―each writer explores their personal understanding of writing as a psychological necessity. In varying ways, these candid, often emotional essays reveal a range of intimate, mysterious, and unpredictable purposes and motivations.
Driven to Write provides fresh, practical, and imaginative approaches to literary art for aspiring and established writers alike.
