"Beautifully written, informative, intriguing, and passionate, The
True Secret of Writing is a book to be appreciated, 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
"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
