Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg
The all-time best-selling writerâs handbook turns thirty.
With insight, humor, and practicality, Natalie Goldberg inspires writers and would-be writers to take the leap into writing skillfully and creatively. She offers suggestions, encouragement, and solid advice on many aspects of the writerâs craft: on writing from âfirst thoughtsâ (keep your hand moving, donât cross out, just get it on paper), on listening (writing is ninety percent listening; the deeper you listen, the better you write), on using verbs (verbs provide the energy of the sentence), on overcoming doubts (doubt is torture; donât listen to it)âeven on choosing a restaurant in which to write. Goldberg sees writing as a practice that helps writers comprehend the value of their lives.
