Writing practice brings us back to the uniqueness of our own minds and an acceptance of it. We all have wild dreams, fantasies, and ordinary thoughts. Let us to feel the texture of them and not be afraid of them.Writing is still the wildest thing I know.
Natalie GoldbergSometimes people say to me, โI want to write, but I have five kids, a full-time job, a wife who beats me, a tremendous debt to my parents,โ and so on. I say to them, โThere is no excuse. If you want to write, write. This is your life. You are responsible for it. You will not live forever. Donโt wait. Make the time now, even if it is ten minutes once a week."
Natalie GoldbergI don't know anything but writing practice, and so what I really do is direct that energy as if it were flowing down a river.
Natalie GoldbergThat's very nice if they want to publish you, but don't pay too much attention to it. It will toss you away. Just continue to write.
