In The Writing Life, Pulitzer Prize winning author Annie Dillard offers up her own trials in the pursuit of inspiration: the absurdity, the fierce determination and the sacrifices (warm feet; gainful employment; peace of mind). Her perennial guide, which wrestles with the hubris and insanity of the creative process, has been an inspiration and a comfort to writers for nearly forty years." isbn: 1837264171 link: local_cover: 50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/The Writing Life (book).jpg pages: 89 published_on: 2026-01-15 publisher: Canongate Books rating: status: To Read subtitle: "" review_count: 0 review_interval: last_reviewed: notes: tags: - zone/areas - zone/areas/literature_notes - type/book title: The Writing Life created: 2026-04-18T09:35 updated: 2026-04-18T09:44 public_note: true --- # The Writing Life (book) - Author(s): Annie Dillard - Link: ![[50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/The Writing Life (book).jpg|200]] ## Description ## Quotes <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/quote AND [[The Writing Life (book)]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> ## Key ideas ... ## Chapter 1: ... ... ## References - ## Related -
