Writing Down the Bones
I am often asked to recommend books on writing, for both inspiration and the mechanics of the craft. I can do no better than to recommend Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within, by Natalie Goldberg (Shambhala Press), a perennial top seller in the field. I first read this book in 1986, when it was initially published, and I still refer to it now and then as a jump-start to my writing day.
