The True Secret of Writing: Connecting Life with Language

Natalie Goldberg's book, Writing Down the Bones, was the first book I read about writing. How easy this is! I thought. It set me on the road to daily writing, a road I've walked every day for over thirty years.

How could I resist Goldberg's latest, The True Secret of Writing? I could not. And I'm glad I couldn't. Chatty, with the same confident voice as Writing Down the Bones, and filled with little anecdotes that emphasize the ease and worth of writing, The True Secret of Writing is an excellent book for anyone who writes.
