Here are some of the issues addressed in the books, 
for you to respond with your own experience: 

How do you trace the making of yourself as a writer?

How has your original impulse grown and deepened through time? 

How do you see the connections between your experiences as a woman and as a writer?

What are the preoccupations that inform your work? 

How do you continue in the face of the often-precarious financial existence of a writer?

How do you balance the push and pull of conflicting demands?

How do you give voice to the times in which you live?

How do you care and tend your work?

What life circumstances -- your own, and in general -- nurture writing?
