This is an excellent resource for a writer. If you're just beginning to write, read this; it emphasizes discipline above all else in writing. Write every day. Every day, even if you have a headache, even if you're too tired. Ms. Dillard makes a wonderful case for this and tells you, in so many words, that if you're not disciplined enough to write every day, you maybe should consider another line of work. Highly recommended for anyone who has ever considered writing or currently is.
