She offers suggestions, encouragement, and solid advice on many aspects of the writer's craft: on writing from \"first thoughts\" (keep your hand moving, don't cross out, just get it on paper), on listening (writing is ninety percent listening; the deeper you listen, the better you write), on using verbs (verbs provide the energy of the sentence), on overcoming doubts (doubt is torture; don't listen to it)—even on choosing a restaurant in which to write. Goldberg sees writing as a practice that helps writers comprehend the value of their lives. The advice in her book, provided in short, easy-to-read chapters with titles that reflect the author's witty approach (\"Writing Is Not a McDonald's Hamburger,\" \"Man Eats Car,\" \"Be an Animal\"), will inspire anyone who writes—or who longs to.","brand":"Natalie Goldberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":45368741462070,"sku":"9781611803082","price":25.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/2026\/9110\/files\/writing-down-the-bones-3791710.jpg?v=1776318252","url":"https:\/\/shopsaturdaymorning.ca\/products\/9781611803082","provider":"Saturday Morning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
