Wild Mind ─ Living the Writer's Life

Natalie Goldberg, author of the bestselling??Writing Down The Bones, teaches a method??of writing that can take you beyond craft to the??true source of creative power: The mind that is??"raw, full of energy, alive and??hungry."



Here is compassionate, practical, and often??humorous advice about how to find time to write,??how to discover your personal style, how to make??sentences come alive, and how to overcome??procrastination and writer's block -- including more than??thirty provocative "Try this" exercises to??get your pen moving.



And here also??is a larger vision of the writer's task:??balancing daily responsibilities with a commitment to??writing; knowing when to take risks as a writer and a??human being; coming to terms with success and??failure and loss; and learning self-acceptance -- both??in life and art.



Wild??Mind will change your way of writing. It??may also change your life.

Natalie Goldberg lives in northern New Mexico and is the author of?Writing Down the Bones,?Wild Mind,?Long Quiet Highway,?Banana Rose, and?Living Color, a book about her work as a painter. She teaches writing in workshops nationwide.
