Natalie Goldberg writes easily, unconventionally and with humor, and inspires her readers to do so. It teaches you to write spontaneously (keep your hand on the paper), listen to yourself and the world around you (writing is 90 percent listening), and practice daily (write for time). Her creative method is based on Zen meditation, and Goldberg explains how it can help you unlock your writing. You will also find in this book tips on how to cope with internal resistance, lack of ideas, procrastination and all the other difficulties that every author faces.
