Writing Down the Bones

Author: Natalie Goldberg

Natalie Goldberg’s “Writing Down the Bones” is a refreshing dive into the art of writing. As I flipped through its pages, I felt like I was chatting with a wise friend over coffee. Goldberg’s approach is both practical and spiritual, encouraging writers to embrace their unique voice. Her anecdotes about Zen practice and life in New Mexico add a personal touch that resonated with me. This book isn’t just about technique; it’s about freeing your mind and letting your words flow naturally onto the page.

Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open.
