Download or read book Rumors of Water written by L. L. Barkat and published by T. S. Poetry Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Annie Dillard-style writing book that follows the writer's life as much as her philosophy about creativity and writing. Aspiring and accomplished writers will find a place to breathe, in both the memoir-stories and tips that seamlessly address major aspects of creative life-from inspiration to individual voice; from helpful habits, networking and publishing, to reasons we create and write. Says the first chapter, "There are so many things standing in my way this morning, I can hardly begin. Yet I've heard there are rumors of water. Maybe that is enough." And apparently it is. --- named a Best Book of 2011, Englewood Review of Books and Hearts & Minds Books
