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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNATALIE GOLDBERG is the author of fourteen books, including \u003ci\u003eWriting Down the Bones\u003c\/i\u003e, which has changed the way writing is taught in this country.
