"Many years ago my older brother gave me Writing Down the
Bones with the inscription, 'So write already!' It was for me
and for many readers a novel and fresh way to approach writing. I
have delighted in Natalie's books ever since and in her method,
having had the chance to see her at work in Taos. The True
Secret of Writing is a rich voyage, a priceless distillation of
her accumulated wisdom and experience as a writer, coach, and
instructor on mindfulness. This lovely volume will have a permanent
place on my writing shelf."--Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting
for Stone
A fresh practice for writing... rooted in the Zen tradition. --

read, and reread by the beginning writer as well as the published
professional. Natalie captures the pulse and spirit of the writing
life with pristine clarity.--Lee Gutkind, Editor, Creative
Nonfiction, Author of You Can't Make This Stuff Up
