Learning to Write with Natalie Goldberg's Expert Advice 

I loved your take on Writing Down the Bones! I have read dozens of books on writing over the years - including the big ones: Stephen King's On Writing, Bradbury's Zen and the Art of Writing, Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, Julia Cameron's morning pages strategy, etc. None of them hold a candle to the freedom and inspiration that Writing Down the Bones provides. I've read it dozens of times, her audiobook is excellent, and she followed it with other excellent writing books that I also still draw from: Old Friend From Far Away, Wild Mind, and The True Secret to Writing (plus others). None are better than Bones, but her generous spirit and ruthless pragmatism flow through all of them. I would love to see what you think of those! Thanks for posting about this book - time to pull it off my shelf :)

Great video-I like the idea of writing a little bit each day just for me.

I love Writing Down the Bones! I first read that book back in the Nineties, when my best friend loaned me her copy because she was trying to convince me to write fiction. I picked it up again seven or eight years ago, and I love to go back to it when I feel stuck. And I've followed her advice to write every day (or mostly every day) for many years. I'm happy it's working for you! (Chocolate is the meaning of life.) I love the step where you go back and read what you've written--so many surprises! Something you thought was great might just feel lumpish, but an entry on a day you might not have been feeling it might just sing and astound you.
