She offers suggestions, encouragement, and solid advice on many aspects of the writer's craft: on writing from \"first thoughts\" (keep your hand moving, don't 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; don't listen to it)--even on choosing a restaurant in which to write. Goldberg sees writing as a practice that helps writers comprehend the value of their lives. The advice in her book, provided in short, easy-to-read chapters with titles that reflect the author's witty approach (\"Writing Is Not a McDonald's Hamburger,\" \"Man Eats Car,\" \"Be an Animal\"), will inspire anyone who writes--or who longs to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalie Goldberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 161180308X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611803082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2016 pg. 38","brand":"Natalie Goldberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053503803647,"sku":"9781611803082","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5b27bda-bfdd-4847-bc89-fa23ab8fce01.jpg?v=1685024712","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-down-the-bones-natalie-goldberg-9781611803082","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
