By the time she was 12, she was considered one of the finest pianists in Europe, but today few people know her name. Maria Mozart, like her famous brother Wolfgang, was a musical prodigy. The talented siblings toured Europe, playing before kings and empresses, were showered with gifts and favors, and lived in a whirlwind life of music and travel. They were best friends, collaborators, and confidantes. As they grew older, Wolfgang was encouraged to pursue his musical ambitions, while Maria was told she must stop performing and, ultimately, marry. But she was determined to continue playing the piano every day, for the love of music . . . . ... Read more

Worth buying, used
This was a good read.The essays aren't for everybody, and I rolled my eyes at more than a few them.That said, I agree with the other reviewer that there are some real gems waiting to be underlined.The pieces are definitely not "how-to"--instead, they feel more like little stories about writing.Plus, the CD that comes with the book is great--it's fun to hear these writers speak in their own voices about their experiences with the written word.

Fun and sexy essays about writing.
This is not your Mother's writing manual. Hell, Tin House's new book of craft essays, by a wonderful host of heavy-hitting writers, is not a manual at all, and it is so much the better for it. The Writer's Notebook takes its name seriously when presenting seventeen sexy essays that avoid giving step-by-step instructions, but confidently leads the reader on a pleasant hike up the mountain of writing craft. Leave your own notebook in the other room, but keep your pen handy, you may need to underline a few choice gems. These essays, while dealing with some of the usual suspects with renewed pizzazz, delve deeper and ask you to think about certain elements in a different way, like Mathea Harvey's deliciously bizarre turn at imagination and writing in "The Mercurial World of the Mind."
The Writer's Notebook manages to lure you in and befriend you, but just when you think it's going to reveal the secret to writing success, it chuckles and admits it's merely trying to get you thinking about writing from a different and fresh perspective. Often the authors confidently divulge their wisdom in the clever guise of their own mistakes, as in Peter Rock's "The Telling that Shows: Some Provocations from inside the Story." Mr. Rock states "---" This seems to be the general tone of the Notebook. Even as Margot Livesey points out Shakespeare's mistakes and success in, "Shakespeare for Writers: Sixteen Lessons."
If you are seeking the distilled wisdom in the form of a key to success, turn left and follow the heavily trodden path of 12 step programs. However, if you want to journey with Tin House's fantastic stable of wise Authors and Poets, Authors that speak with great character and kindness, then follow them down the bramble trail and pick up this Writer's Notebook. You'll emerge with some minor gashes in your writerly thinking, but the scars and these essays will likely help you write better stories.

Excerpt: Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, (30 November 1874 24 January 1965) was a British politician known chiefly for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II. He is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders. He served as Prime Minister from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, writer and artist. To date, he is the only British Prime Minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the first person to be recognised as an honorary citizen of the United States. During his army career, Churchill saw military action in India, the Sudan and the Second Boer War. He gained fame and notoriety as a war correspondent and through contemporary books he wrote describing the campaigns. He also served briefly in the British Army on the Western Front in World War I, commanding the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. At the forefront of the political scene for almost fifty years, he held many political and cabinet positions. Before the First World War, he served as President of the Board of Trade, Home Secretary and First Lord of the Admiralty as part of the Asquith Liberal government.

Not roomy enough...
I have to say that I loved Anna Johnson's "Three Black Skirts" so much that as soon as I found out that she had an engagement calendar out, I was pretty excited and determined that to be my calendar for 2005 based on the book I'd just read and all the information available here on Amazon about the calendar.

Weeell, I just received it and I think I may have rushed just a little bit. Don't get me wrong, the calendar's beautiful. It has cool quotes and big, colorful, fun illustrations alongside the grids for each week but... it's just not roomy enough. The spaces for each day are waay small. You can't fit too much information about your engagements (or too many of them) or make too many random comments because they just won't fit. And even if they fit, it'll just look way too cramped. Not what I expected for someone so big on preaching about style.

I wish it came bound instead of spiral-bound as this makes the pages a bit hard to turn. The tables at the end of the calendar are not that useful but fun and the "personal freak-out" pages (blank pages for notes) are something I've come to rely upon on every engagement calendar I've ever owned but..only two measly pages for a whole year of notes?? Come on!

On the whole, this engagement calendar really IS all about style but not too much substance. For the busy woman, it may even be a little impractical. I am however, giving it 3.5 stars because if you don't care too much about these details, it is a very pretty, fun option. ... Read more
