      This is such a great book! I have the audiobook version and love to listen to it at bedtime.

    I would suggest The Van Gogh Blues by Eric Masel, Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg, and Writing From the Inner Self by Elaine Farris Hughes.

    I always look at books by the Masters and find inspiration there and then the bubbling in my brain begins.
