You'll lose your reader if you are vague, not clear, and not present. We love details, personal connections, stories.
Natalie GoldbergDon't let yourself be thrown away....Continue on no matter what....Continue to make a positive effort for the good.
Natalie GoldbergIt is odd that we never question the feasibility of a football team practicing long hours for one game; yet in writing we rarely give ourselves the space for practice.
Natalie GoldbergI came out with a book called The True Secret of Writing: Connecting Life with Language. It's a book that describes how writing is a practice and how my teaching is part of that practice. I direct the writing and create books but underneath, there's always the river of practice happening. No good, no bad. Just do it.
